Obama Goes Golfing As World Mourns Christian Martyrs Killed By “JV Team” ISIS
As the international community mourned the deaths of 21 Egyptian Christians who were beheaded in an Islamic State (ISIS) video released on Sunday, President Barack Obama spent the day golfing in Palm Springs, California.
Obama also played golf on Sunday when the videotaped slaughter of Coptic Christians went viral globally. In response to the gruesome beheading video, Egypt began airstrikes in Libya against ISIS targets.
Pope Francis denounced the brutal slaying:
“Today I read about the execution of those twenty-one or twenty-two Coptic Christians,” said the Pope. “Their only words were: ‘Jesus, help me!’ They were killed simply because they were Christians.”
Obama hit the links before 8:00 a.m. local time and played the Porcupine Creek Golf Course in Palm Springs with three of his Hawaii buddies.
This is not the first time Obama has golfed amid beheading video releases. In September, just minutes after delivering a speech on the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley by ISIS, Obama went golfing. Later, Obama said he “should have anticipated the optics”surrounding his decision.
