Jerry Falwell is far from an Osama Bin Laden. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind.

Yes, you are right. He is.
But, only because he is in the comfy position he is in. Falwell enjoys wealth, power, and influence in the worlds most powerful nation. He believes he is making progress in advancing the agendas of fundamentalist christian law being imposed in this country. Bin Laden is leader of a fring group who has no powerful government, and sees much of what he deems his religions empire slipping towards the values of the decadent west.
You switch their positions, Make Falwells Christian Coalition a small group that he primarially funds in a nation that ranks in the bottom of the barrel. Then have a secular, but primarially islamic nation (which is by far the most powerful in the world) exert influence and, at least in Jerry's mind, make progress towards converting his region towards the religion and values of Islam....
Falwell would easily be a mirror image of Our Osama.
While Bizarro Osama is a faith leader in his nation who now has the "luxury" of being able to just delegate 'missionary' work around the world and advancing sharia in his nation.
