Senator Kerry’s Middle Eastern connections
Senator John Kerry is the only presidential candidate in American history who has genealogical descent from Muslim and Jewish as well as Christian leaders.
Burke’s Peerage completed the research last July that proved that Senator Kerry of Massachusetts is definitely more royal and noble by blood than any former American president. His kinship with Persian, Tunisian as well as other great Middle Eastern royal potentates, Muslim and Christian, has now been documented. The royal connections of American presidential candidates have been present for the victors in the past.
Harold Brooks-Baker, Publishing Director of Burke’s Peerage, said today that, “Senator Kerry, unlike all of the former presidential hopefuls, is a virtual walking United Nations of Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other descent only rivalled by his distant cousin, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain”.
Such a rich, cultural and religious heritage should give Senator Kerry a great advantage in understanding the complex political issues in the world today, especially those of the Middle East. He is a kinsman of the Shi’ite Shahs of Persia, the most famous of whom was Shah Abbas I who reigned from 1587 to 1629, and also the Muslim Kings of Tunisia, both of whom descend from the Prophet Muhammad; he is also descended from Alexius I, the Greek Orthodox Emperor of Byzantium who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 1081-1118 and via that link is a kinsman of the last Greek Orthodox Emperor Constantine 11th Palaelogus who was slain by the Turks in 1453 while defending Constantinople. Burke’s Peerage has documented the Senator’s kinship with the Christian kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus and through them, the Bourbon monarchs of France including Louis XV, XVI, and XV111 and Charles X of France.
Roger Powell, senior contributing genealogist to Burke’s Peerage, is responsible for the most intricate aspects of this complicated research. Mr Powell stated that, “America’s problems in Iraq and the Middle East should be well understood by this presidential candidate who even has a blood connection with the prophet Muhammad.”
Queen Elizabeth II was proven to be, by Sir Iain Moncrieffe of that Ilk, Bart., a direct descendant of the sister of the prophet Muhammad whereas Senator Kerry is connected to the Prophet via the Safavids and the royal house of Morocco.
Burke’s Peerage has documented every American president since General George Washington (1789-1797)
