You see, that is just the point. It can be argued that he was just as bad a bin Laden.
He was a vile charlatan who not only conned people out of their money but influenced people in power, either directly or through influencing his followers, to do heinous things.
There is one key difference between Falwell (and his type) and bin Laden. The laws of the US prevented him from going "to far". Put him in a lawless culture and he would have been just as likely to do far worse than he did.
