#1 I don't know... I think naming yourself after your prophet would be a crime against the prophet and Allen so ... following this logic ... shouldn't they kill anybody named Mohammad or a variant thereof?

#2 I guess this is what happens when a stone age culture is given cell phones. Perhaps the ring tones sounded a bit too much like music? Perhaps they might be construed as fun? Perhaps the cell phones with a different ring tone couldn't set off a bomb properly? Maybe the terrorists couldn't figure out how to do it themselves no matter how hard they pounded their own phone with a rock so they won't let anyone else do it either?

Of course, it's the usual "one-size-fits-all" punishment if the perverts don't step into line.

#3 Wouldnt it be funny if someone hacked their phones and had all the ring tones changed to songs from Fiddler on the Roof?

#4 Brer Rabbit. It could be pushed out from the central office so you would only need to hack them.

#5 I think I'd be tempted to pack a few "extra features" into the phones these jerks buy for their own use...
