Line 15: − − 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 pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians 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.'" Falwell immediately apologized for the statement. <ref>CNN article on the statement[http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/14/Falwell.apology/]</ref>

Falwell is best known for his beliefs in the benefit of public debate. At [[Liberty University]], he hosts an annual undergraduate [[debate]] [[tournament]] that attracts schools all across the country. At the tournament, he provides the students with a [[banquet]] and allows the debaters to participate in a "question and answer" session with him. Falwell's [[rhetorical]] prowess shines at such events, as he systematically grounds his [[left]]-of-center critics. Falwell also regularly appears on news broadcasts, preaching the word of [[God]] and his [[conservative]] point of view. He refuses to back down from a position that may be considered unpopular.
