PETITION COUSTEAU : COUSTEAU WAS NOT A MUSLIM AND HE NEVER WAS ONE !	HOME
ASK THE COUSTEAU SOCIETY TO PUBLISH A DENIAL ON THEIR WEBSITE TO END THE RUMOR "COUSTEAU EMBRACED ISLAM"

A persistent rumor is spreading amongst muslims claiming commandant Cousteau to have embraced islam after oceanographic findings thanks to the Koran.

This rumor has spread since the 1980's by muslim propagandists. They quote a verse of the koran about rivers ending in the sea. Regarding those propagandists, commandant Cousteau is supposed to have embraced islam after seeing that fresh water do not mix with sea water.

Which is twice wrong !

First, commandant Cousteau never embraced islam and, second, fresh water of course does mix with sea water, as anybody can check.

Propagandists use the trick that fresh water do not uniformly and instantly mix with sea water... as any liquid does if slowly poured in a small quantity into a vast quantity of any other liquid being of a different density !
For example, ink does not uniformly and instantly mix with the water of a swimming pool if you slowly pour ink into the pool. And also for hot water staying at the surface of cold water ! (that's how a water-heater and an electric coffee-maker works...)
But propagandists looking for jihadists avoid to tell this, may be they don't even know it, as it sounds as if they really believe commandant Cousteau embraced islam.

Many more similar rumors are spread about famous people who supposedly embraced islam (Victor Hugo, Napoléon, Neil Armstrong etc...) but the rumor about commandant Cousteau seems to be the one spreading the fastest and being more efficient to turn people to radical islam, mainly among students of universities, this due to its pseudo-scientific aspect.

Examples of websites actually spreading the lie that commandant Cousteau is supposed to have embraced islam

Today, the only denial about this rumor to be available on internet is only a poor scan of a photocopy of a letter (in french, that the majority of websurfers can't read) and more than 10 years old (1991), sent to an individual, and where their address, tel & fax number of Cousteau Society are outdated.

No credible denial is actually available, and, mainly, no denial at all is available on the website of the Cousteau Society, www.cousteau.org, which is nevertheless the main one concerned with protecting the memory of commandant Cousteau.
The Cousteau Society looks like having completely forgotten everything about this history, even more : they look like completely ignoring the persistence of the rumor, despite its huge consequences today amongst the international muslim community.

As usually with perverted rumors, the very first interested people are the very last to be warned about it.

That is why we ask you to warn the Cousteau Society about this rumor and ask them (see below) to publish a bilingual French-English denial on their website.

Suggestion of message to send to communication@cousteau.org :

Subject : rumor Cousteau embraced islam To : Cousteau Society. 92, avenue Kéber 75116. Paris. France. Tel : (33) 0-1.44.34.06.06 - Fax : (33) 0-1.44.34.06.07 communication@cousteau.org There is a persistent rumor, spreading for more than a decade, claiming that commandant Jacques-Yves Cousteau would have embraced islam three month before his death. This rumor claims in addition that all denials about this would be just lies created by fans of commandant Cousteau, after his death, in order to hide he embraced islam and rejected all his scientific studies regarding mix of fresh and sea water. This rumor is actually heavily spreading in muslim countries and appears to be a really efficient tool for islamist propagandists, mainly among students in the universities. All people there agree to tell that people in Europe cannot imagine how terribly efficient is that propaganda tool. Thousands of people turn to radical islam after being hooked with that claimed conversion of commandant Cousteau. If you ask for a survey in islamic countries, you unfortunately will easily have a confirmation. As there is a complete lack of denial on the cousteau society website, people believing in this rumor are logically pushed to think it is true as it is not denied. A lot of victims from islamism might reproach to you the fact that you did not act to stop this rumor, being then, for a small part, responsible of the growth of islamism in the world. I then suggest you to publish on the website of the Cousteau Society an official denial clearly reading that commandant Jacques-Yves Cousteau never embraced islam, with a copy of the press release that commandant Cousteau himself published about this rumor while he was still alive. Please tell in addition that commandant Cousteau was buried in the christian ritual after a ceremony in Notre-Dâme de Paris cathedral, which is definitively NOT compatible with somebody who would have embraced islam. Such an official denial, bilingual French-English, available 24/24 on the official website of the Cousteau Society, clearly pointing out all aspects of this rumor, would allow to counter each of the fallacious arguments used by the believers of this rumor and would at last definitively end the international spreading of this lie.
