Text item: French Oceanographer conversion to Islam
Qur'ans Confirmation Of An Amazing Undersea Discovery Leads
===========================================================
French Oceanographer To Islam
=============================
The famous French oceanographer Mr Jacques YvesCousteau, who has spent
his lifetime on undersea discoveries and is considered an authorithy on
undersea exploration has embraced Islam after his amazing undersea
discovery was confirmed by the Holy Qur'an the last and final revealed
guidence of Allah (God Almighty) for the whole of Mankind and Jinns.
One day somewhere in deep ocean, Mr Jacques YvesCousteau was doing some
undersea exploration when he discovered that within the salty sea water
there were several spring of sweet palatable water. What amazed him most
was the fact that the sweet water of the springs was not mingling with
the salty water of the sea. For a long time he tried to find plausible
excuse for this phenomena, but to no avail.
One day when he mentioned it to a Muslim Professor who told him this
phenomena simply followed Allah's command as clearly explained in the
Holy Qur'an. He then read to Mr Cousteau the following verses from the
Holy Qur'an :
"It is He (Allah) Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water : One
palatable and sweet, and the other salty and bitter; yet has He (Allah)
made a barrier between them, a portion that is forbidden to be passed"
(Sura 25 Al-Furqan : Verse 53)
"And He (Allah) made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing
waters." (Sura 27 An-Naml : Verse 61)
"He (Allah) let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together :
between them is a barrier which they do not transgress." (Sura 55
Al-Rahman : Verse 19:20)
Hearing this, Mr Cousteau said that surely the Qur'an is a divine Book
and embraced Islam. (This was reported in Al-Furqan-Ta-Ha Publishers,
London).
==========================
[In France Islam has been spreading at a high velocity among people
who have made fame in various areas. The number of people who have
abandoned Christianity and chosen Islam have reached one hundred
thousand already. This score has been confirmed by the Archbishop
of Paris, the highest Catholic rank in France.
It is noteworthy that people who have preferred Islam are not only
from among workers and civil servants but also from among people
renowned in every respect.
Among people who have chosen Islam is Captain Cousteau, whom the
whole world closely knows for his explorations about life under
water.
As the groundswell of embracing Islam was spreading among France's
universal celebrities, Captain Cousteau, the world's most eminent
undersea explorer, announced that by accepting Islam he had made
the most correct decision of his life.
Captain Cousteau, who has revealed the secrets of oceans one by
one with the films that he made and which are being televised world
over in a program sub-headed The Living Sea, said that what actually
prompted him to choose the Islamic religion was, after observing
that the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean did not
mix with each other, his seeing that the same phenomenon was written
in the Qur'an al-karim which had been revealed fourteen hundred years
before.]
Captain Cousteau told of the event that had caused him to become a
Muslim, as follows:
"In 1962 German scientists said that the waters of the Red Sea
and the Indian Ocean did not mix with each other in the Strait
of Bab-ul-Mandab where the Aden Bay and the Red Sea join. So we
began to examine whether the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the
Mediterranean mixed with each other. First we analyzed the water
in the Mediterranean to find out its natural salinity and density,
and the life it contained. We repeated the same procedure in the
Atlantic Ocean. The two masses of water had been meeting each
other in the Gibraltar for thousands of years. Accordingly, the
two masses of water must have been mixing with each other and
they must have been sharing identical, or, at least, similar
properties in salinity and density. On the contrary, even at
places where the two seas were closest to each other, each mass
of water preserved its properties. In other words, at the point
where the two seas met, a curtain of water prevented the waters
belonging to the two seas from mixing. When I told Professor
Maurice Bucaille about this phenomenon, he said that it was no
surprise and that it was written clearly in Islam's Holy Book,
the Qur'an al-karim. Indeed, this fact was defined in a plain
language in the Qur'an al-karim. When I knew this, I believed in
the fact that the Qur'an al-karim was the 'Word of Allah'. I chose
Islam, the true religion. The spiritual potency inherent in the
Islamic religion gave me the strength to endure the pain I had
been suffering for the loss of my son."

Why not take this to a forum where the dicussion of religion is an
appropriate topic?

that fresh water springs vent into salt water bodies is hardly "An Amazing
Undersea Discovery", and I'm quite certain that the Qur'an is referencing a
much more logical "barrier between them, a portion that is forbidden to be
passed".... land. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, and
I'm certain there are many, many French Muslims, but the rest of this fable
seems improbable at best.

The claim is a hoax. This is a link to a letter from the Cousteau
foundation:
http://answering-islam.org.uk/Hoaxes/cousteau.gif
Translated:
We have received your letter and we thank you for your interest in
our activities.
We state precisely to you that Commander Cousteau has not become a
Muslim and that this rumor passes around without foundation.
Note: When Cousteau died in 1997 his funeral was held in Notre Dame
cathedral in Paris.
If only Samir had heeded this Islamic advice about the wise men and fools.
He would not have spread this fairytale. It is completely made up.
Wise men and women speak because they have something to say.
Fools speak because they have to say something.

John,
I just wanted to clarify to people who made comments like 'your kind' that
Islam is universal and Muslims are every 'kind'.

If Sammy spent more time reading things other than his hate filled
book of allah poo, he'd know that Jacques Cousteau is dead.
Or maybe the muslims are borrowing from the Mormons and are converting
the dead, after they have no say in the matter.

I had no reason to believe the article was made up. I have seen many articles,
books, and videos about scientists making similar discoveries and becoming
Muslims.
I tried a search on that online. Some sites claimed he converted to Islam,
others claimed it was a hoax. There was a site that claimed they had pictures
of him but couldn't get to the site today.
(http://daily.stanford.org/2-12-96/opinions/opslettera12.html)
At this point I don't know. It could be a hoax, it could be that some are
trying to conver up his conversion. In either case, Islam remains to be the
fastest growing religion with people of all colors. That was my point.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Samir.

unlike muslim countries, we have freedom of religion. What matters are
the ACTS of people. And cowardly acts, like the ones carried out by the
filthy pig Osama, where innocent men, women and children are killed are
not allowed by any religion or GOD. Fanatics who claim to murder in the
name of Allah are nothing more than filthy pigs. Worship any way you
want or anything you want. But killing innocent people is wrong,
according to God, so religious zealots can't hide behind it. Jews,
Christians and Muslims all have freedom of religion in America. None
have freedom to kill those they disagree with. And, btw, how come we
never see Osama with a female. He needs an outlet for all that
agression. Somebody get Osama a camel to help him ease his
tensions............................................................................................of
course I mean he should ride that camel to find a willing woman.

How do you know that this site wasn't forged by the Mossad? Anyone can

He was and remained a catholic (not that I care what he was).
His funeral was held at Notre Dame in Paris.
What more do you want?

So you are ignorant of Islam - just like me?
Well, what do you know.
The point is that religious crazies from Islam are no different that xtian
religious crazies.
You want credibility? Denounce the extremists of Islam (or of any religion).
They have no place in today's society. They are dangerous and ignorant.

Many American Muslims (even of middler origins) have been buried in churchs
by their Christian wives. Now muslims sign in their will that they want to
be burried in an Islamic way.
I really do not want anything. All I said is this matter is apparently in
dispute. I was not aware of that.
Tell you what... The site I mentioned said they had pictures and proof. They
said there are pictures of him with Yusuf Islam (former singer Cat Stevens.)
I will personally ask Yusuf Islam of what he knows. He's expected to visit
Portland next weekend (Oct 27th).
(I hope there aren't any hoax out there that denis the conversion of Cat
Stevens to Islam that I don't know about!!!)
>You want credibility? Denounce the extremists of Islam (or of any religion).
And why should I? I have said this from the begining, but some people,
due to existing prejudice, say stupid unconstructive comments to any
discussion like 'I doubt your sincerety.'
And now we're back to square one, denounce then we'll doubt your sincerety.
I like to have a dialog, some people just want to fight. I say there is
enough of that going on the world.
Peace,
Samir.

The Cousteau Institute and the Cousteau family say it's a hoax.
He was buried a catholic.
For crying out loud.

You made your point. Quit while your (kind of) ahead.
