This reminds me of what happened to my self last year. I had a YouTube channel with Gaming Videos, they went to my channel created a fake Google+ account using my name and started posting offensive content on it.

They then went to videos with homosexual acts and posted comments with my name saying things like "I endorse this", etc..

On the Google+ page they posted Male Pornography all under my name.

I went to the Police here in Dubai and after a few weeks of no response I found out that they lost my file and that I would have to do another report to get anything done about it.

I eventually took it into my own hands, contacted Google+ send pictures of my passport and they shutdown the account and removed all Google query's of the page.

This seems more like a myth to me. I have friend that I have known since we were toddlers. Even though me and him are in different countries we Skype daily! I will be visiting him in August and he's going to visit me in December.

It's probably using a form tag in the html. The data entered would be sent as a POST request to the external site.

Or it could be trough JavaScript which would Ajax the data to the external site.

This is pretty suspicious. First we find out that two passengers were using stolen passports and now we find out that 20 passengers belonged to the same company.

I'm not going to say it's terrorism just yet but it is pointing towards that or something like it.

I'm also Muslim so I guess I can answer this. We usually pay it to charities, in the old days Muslims would go around looking for people who needed the money and directly pay it to them but now we send it off to foundations though we can still pay it directly if we would like.

Most Muslims also sponsor Orphans. I am actually sponsoring two orphans.

This is pretty shocking. I found out that 4 apps can access my inbox! I've removed all of them except for the gmail iOS app.
