IIRC, Saladin said the same thing when he ordered the sacking of a city. His commanders asked, should we just kill the enemy’s soldiers? Saladin said, no, kill everyone. God will sort them out.
Not Saladin, IIRC. That was Simon de Monfort. Saladin might have said it as well, but I’d be surprised—Saladin was a classy guy by the standard of the age.
