ISTANBUL (AFP) - Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu faced mockery on Thursday (Oct 16) over his grasp of both geopolitics and geometry, after saying there was "360 degrees of difference" between Turkey's brand of Islam and that of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) extremist group.
Mr Davutoglu made the apparent gaffe on Turkish television while seeking to rebut claims that the government's failure to crack down on ISIS jihadists was responsible for double bombings on Saturday (Oct 10) in Ankara that killed 99 people.
"There is a 360-degree, not 180-degree, difference between the Islam we defend and what Daesh has on its mind," Mr Davutoglu told Show TV late on Wednesday (Oct 14), using another name for the ISIS group.

One must wonder if there was a slip or a moment of honesty ?
