Irrelevant. You can't impose your personal morality or that of your nation 
or culture on everyone else. You are working on a global project. You have 
to be considerate of the sensitivities of any significant group of people 
on a global scale, and the Nazi flag qualifies. In a similar way, I might 
be bewildered that Americans (for example) take certain words (which refer 
to perfectly natural body parts of bodily actions) or certain hand 
gestures (which have no inherent meaning) to be offensive. But I accept 
that and respect them.
