It sounds like Baha'u'llah, in Epistle to the Son of the Wolf: "How many the edifices which they reared with the hands of idle fancies and vain imaginings, and how numerous the cities which they built! At length those vain imaginings were converted into bullets and aimed at Him Who is the Prince of the world." and a more specified version of Abdu'l-Baha, in the Tablet of one Thousand Verses (not available in translation) which says that Umar's words 'The Book of God is sufficient unto us' became the bullets.
