#1 A couple of people will be tortured and killed for this in grisly ways- the rest will get the message. One of the tricks of totalitarian systems is that you only need to be vicious to a few people at any one time- word gets around.

#3 I can't blame them. Ever heard of the Somali Top 40? And I doubt there's a lot of Mozart on Somalia Public Radio, just All Things Beheaded and Talk of the Tribe. They should get rid of the guy who hollers from the minarets, too. He can't carry a tune at all.
