JUST A CHOICE OF LIFESTYLES....:

The Pedophile's Secret Code (Slate, Dec. 3, 2007)

Every subculture speaks its own dialect, and pedophiles are no exception. Hence the FBI's January 2007 "intelligence bulletin" on "symbols and logos used by pedophiles to identify sexual preferences." The document (see Pages 2-4), was prepared and distributed to FBI divisions and field offices earlier this year by the Cyber Division's Innocent Images National Initiative. These are the G-men and -women who work on cases involving child exploitation and sexual abuse.

Did you know that "boylovers" make their presence known with a "small blue spiral-shaped triangle surrounded by a larger triangle"? The larger triangle signifies an adult male; the smaller triangle, a boy. If the boylover wishes to emphasize the smallness of the boys he covets, then he uses the "little boy lover" logo, which is more rounded and thinner than the boylover logo, apparently to "resemble a scribbling by a young child." Males or females whose taste runs to young girls identify themselves with a logo showing one heart inside a larger heart, while "non-preferential gender child abusers" indicate their enthusiasms with a butterfly logo made up of two large hearts and two smaller hearts. These logos are sometimes incorporated into jewelry or even stamped onto coins. (See Pages 2 and 3.)

They call those icons Mohammeds.
