Could Michael Howard become Britain's first Jewish Prime Minister? Would that prove that Jews rule the world?

British PM Benjamin Disraeli was born Jewish but his father had a dispute with his synagogue and had his son baptised Anglican.

'"Dracula stakes his claim," was the huge front-page headline in the pro-Labor, mass-circulation Daily Mirror on Thursday morning.
In a similar vein the previous evening, a parliamentary supporter of Howard was challenged by an aggressive BBC television interviewer: "What makes you think the country is ready for somebody with a Transylvanian heritage?" '
This tells a lot about the Leftist Media in the UK!!! They're supposed to be anti-racist ones!!

What you may be referring to is the Act of Settlement from around 1700. In this Act, Parliament required all future soverigns to belong to the Church of England. I do not believe Prime Ministers are required to pass a religious test.

True. But when his son was accused of being Jewish, he never denied it and set the British straight on the Jewish contribution to the world.

Blair is Roman Catholic.
All Monarchs can be of any religion except Roman Catholic. Nor can they been married to a Catholic or been a Catholic at any point in their lives.

To: Mr. Morals; Winniesboy
Blair isn't Catholic. Catholics aren't allowed to be Prime Minister, but I don't believe any other religions are disallowed.

They do rule the world, now they are just finally coming out of the shadows to do it. They have been encouraged by their huge success in subverting Washington's political power and the downing of both towers during 9/11, possibly the biggest Mossad operation to date.
Just kidding of course, but I'm sure this is what we'll hear from the Arab press if Howard continues to rise in UK politics.

No, he's not. To be Catholic - Roman, English, American - you must be baptised in the church or if baptised in another Christian Church you must go through the RCI - Rite of Christian Initiation - a public ceremony. Sometimes Blair goes to a Catholic Church but that doesn't make him Catholic.
http://www.fatima.org/review/perspective332.htm - this is an article that covers on controversy where Blair supposedly received communion from the Pope.
