On October 7, 2002 the National Council of Churches News Service reported that "the Executive Board of the (U.S.) National Council of Churches this afternoon (Oct. 7) voted unanimously to 'condemn and repudiate' the Rev. Jerry Falwell’s statements yesterday on CBS-TV’s '60 Minutes' about Islam and the Prophet Muhammed, Islam’s founder, saying Falwell’s statements endangered the lives of Christians around the world. Noting that 'Falwell implied in his comments that he and his constituency control President Bush’s policies toward Israel and Palestine,' the leaders of U.S. Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican denominations called on President Bush to repudiate and condemn Falwell’s remarks."
