On The 700 Club (1966) he stated that the attacks on September 11, 2001, were the
result of God removing a protective barrier from the United States as
punishment for the nation's acceptance of homosexuals and feminists and
blamed the politicians for "allowing it to happen", a sentiment that
show host Pat Robertson readily agreed with. Contrary to popular belief,
neither Falwell nor Robertson ever apologized.
[on the reasons for the terrorist attack on New York City on 9/11/01] 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!"
