Falwell: Intent not to attack Muhammad Baptist pastor stirs U.S. Muslims, calls Islam's prophet 'terrorist' Posted: October 4, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Art Moore © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com In an interview with WorldNetDaily, Rev. Jerry Falwell said his characterization of Islam's prophet Muhammad as a terrorist in a segment on the next edition of "60 Minutes" was not intended to antagonize Muslim people. "I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough, by both Muslims and non-Muslims, [to decide] that he was a violent man, a man of war," Falwell tells interviewer Bob Simon, according to a CBS promo of the program to be aired this Sunday night. "My intent was not to attack Muhammad," Falwell told WND yesterday. "I have avoided that. But [Simon] was pressing me on the issue of Muhammad's behavior, his involvement in war, and I simply said what I do believe, that Muhammad is not a good example for most Muslim people." One of the most outspoken and controversial Islamic political action groups in the United States immediately issued a statement on Falwell's comments, which gained wide attention through the Drudge Report yesterday. worldnetdaily.com
