In Afghanistan, either your cell phone plays Taliban ring tones, or you can die

They actually have check points in the countryside and they'll look at your cell phone, and if they don't like what they see, you might have a date with the business-end of an AK-47.

The article says that some people carry a second SIM card, and if they get stopped, they pop out their normal one and replace it with the one with the approved ring tones.

Chalk it up as a win for the good guys?

Something like that. If your propaganda isn't propaganda enough, then The Party will make sure you are an example for someone else.
