What was said

Robinson posted that instead of fearing Islam, “we should crush it. Remove it from our countries. Expel it from Christendom. Christians fear no evil, we destroy it.”

Why it counts

Crush, remove, expel, destroy: the chain of verbs escalates through the sentence, and the object is a religion practiced by real people in real buildings.

Destroying and expelling a faith means acting against its adherents and institutions. The abstraction doesn't change who the verbs land on.

"True, we should fear Islam less. We should crush it. Remove it from our countries. Expel it from Christendom. Christians fear no evil, we destroy it."
