She’s referring to a statement a while back from some leftard that a cross was the equivalent of a swastika as a symbol of hate.

I meant my comment as sarcasm. In order for the analogy to hold true Christians, who are symbolised by the cross, would have had to round up neo-pagans, burn them in ovens, start a world war and kill countless others. To my knowledge no one has ever rounded up neo-pagans in concentration camps and killed them...therfore the analogy is plainly wrong.
As an aside the swastika was never, to my knowledge, the primary symbol for any religion although it can be found as a symbol in many cultures.
