Falwell is well known outside of Evangelical circles for his claim, made on "The [[700 Club]]" on September 13th of 2001 that it was not just [[al Qaeda]] that was to blame for the terrorist attacks of [[9/11]].  He said, ""I really believe that the [[pagan]]s, and the [[abortionist]]s, and the [[feminist]]s, and the [[gays]] and the [[lesbian]]s who are actively trying to make that an [[alternative lifestyle]], the [[ACLU]], [[People For the American Way]], all of them who have tried to [[secularize]] America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" The [[liberal media]] jumped on his statement and Falwell apologized soon after.<ref>CNN article on the statement[http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/14/Falwell.apology/]</ref>
