Australian politician mistakes Islam for country; gaffes go viral

(CNN) -- 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.

"I don't oppose Islam as a country, but I do feel that their laws should not be welcome here in Australia," Banister said.

Then she added: "Less than 2% of Australians follow haram." It is unclear whether she meant the Muslim holy book, the Quran. Haram refers to things that are forbidden under Islamic law.

As if that's not enough, she got her religions all mixed up.
"Jews aren't under haram, they have their own religion which follows Jesus Christ," she said.

She should emigrate to Pakistan. She would find good company there.
