Do you know?

That's not what the Wikipedia site I noted said.

In Asia, the swastika symbol first appears in the archaeological record around[55] 3000 BCE in the Indus Valley Civilization.[68][69] It also appears in the Bronze and Iron Age cultures around the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In all these cultures the swastika symbol does not appear to occupy any marked position or significance, but appears as just one form of a series of similar symbols of varying complexity. In the Zoroastrian religion of Persia, the swastika was a symbol of the revolving sun, infinity, or continuing creation.[70][71] It is one of the most common symbols on Mesopotamian coins.[8]

The icon has been of spiritual significance to Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.[4][8] The swastika is a sacred symbol in the Bön religion, native to Tibet.

It's even older than that.

It's an ancient symbol in the form of an equal-armed cross with each arm continued at a right angle, used (in clockwise form) as the emblem of the German Nazi party.

It's an offensive symbol to most people, maybe some groups need to stop using it

Why? Some of these churches have been adorned with swastika for hundreds of years, why ruin art because a fee people dont know the meaning of it.

Kind of reminds me of the taliban blowing up those buddhas in Afghanistan.

Why is it hyperbole? The two equate, destruction of holy relics just to please a few disgruntled sensibilities

Like architecture? Sure they do. Sometimes they will knock down an old building and raise up a totally modern and new one

Deliberate destruction is vandalism, destruction in the name of sensibilities is terrorism
