RE"Jerry Falwell has laid blame for this terrorist attack on the sins of "pagans ... abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians...".
you said..."After a while, it gets difficult to distinguish between Jerry Falwell and Osama Bin Ladin. A religious fanatic is a religious fanatic, once any of them get really wound up."

Actually, if you knew something about the muslim agenda you would realize there is some truth to what Falwell said.
The west is seen as infidels, the great Satan. One reason is the proliferiation of what Falwell mentioned. Muslims see this as a threat. They think we are spreading it their way...especially with the internet and our presence in the middle east, persian gulf and support of Israel.

I have not read the original but from your post it seems Falwell's speach was inappropriate and intolerant and IMO wrong. However there is a big jump from that to hatred and another big jump to mass murder. Maybe Falwells statements deserve to be condemned but there is still a big difference between him and Bin Ladin.
