"Slay them all, God will know his own." is closer to the actual

Close, but not quite. The first recorded utterance of this
quote
was from a monk (his name escapes me) during the Albegensian Crusade.
The
target of this particular crusade were the Albegensians (aka Cathers),
followers of a gnostic religion that lived predominatly in Southern
France.
