Australian politician's gaffes go viral
A candidate in Australia's parliamentary elections referred to Islam as a country. As a result, she's now referred to as a former candidate.
Stephanie Banister, a 27-year-old welder running for a seat in Rankin, Queensland, unleashed a series of blunders during an interview with CNN affiliate 7 News.

I love it. Candidate Banister is brilliant.
The question is, can she spell potato and pronounce nuclear?
This just showcases the misconceptions and ignorance about a religion which mostly the phobics suffer from. In the case
of Banister she simply doesn't know but would venture to opine. As most are inclined to do.
Remember the Tea Party leader Williams saying" muslims worship the monkey god" when spreading propaganda against Islam?
This only goes to show that just cus politicians Run for office, doesn't mean they're Qualified! I believe there's a verse in the Haram that states as much!! LOL!
Said it @vikingwoman. Plenty of specimens in our politics.
She is no smarter than the primitive Muslims she is criticizing.
oh pleeze any banister can make ah mistake...the way the international community, political forum, and organizations has been conceeding to these islamic bootleggers and their jihadic demands one coulds swear of its existence...so the BIG QUESTION is to whom ecxactlyare our political leaders heeding if no such country exists? i believe, stephanie is just sensitive to the presence of an illicit undertow...
...as an apparent outsider she probally would be the perfect candidate to give the musty old man establishment grief...
Lol @ saywhat and @ vikingwoman, AND in bloggers as well eh? Pretty much had that discussion yesterday with someone.
Hi @chrissy.
@Rascal Rabble, the appropriate question for Banister would be " which country she has in mind as there are around 52 muslim countries on this planet"?
despite the ivy league education our political leaders, one can readily conclude the contrary, their brazen ignorance; when they laud the principles and writings of masters and johnson, freund, sanger, marx, and neitzsche: people who are intellectual buffoons who lack the ability to comprehend the dignity of the human person...
Couldn't agree more @Rascal Rabble.
Again our politicians show case this 'trait' more than others. Bigotry runs rife in the wake of their 'brazen ignorance'.
good day all.
Lol @ Rascal, Be womam! Be aggressive! Be all you can be!
Perhaps she was thinking of the Nation of Islam?
lol...
