Chris Smith actually said...

"We must destroy ISIS militarily, if we can, but we cannot destroy with force of arms the religious ideology that sustains it."

"The root cause is Islamist terrorism of the kind that hit us on 9/11."

"Stable self-government grounded in religious tolerance and ultimately religious freedom is the only reliable antidote to the toxic religious convictions of Islamist terrorists."

"We are witnessing the disappearance of Christians and Christianity from Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East, a religious, cultural genocide."
