Rumor about jerry falwell converting to islam?

ok, i've heard this several times now from muslims. apparently they believe jerry falwell converted to islam on his death bed...nevermind that he died suddenly in his office and i'm sure didn't have time to covert before death even if he wanted to. Now, i didn't agree with everything jerry falwell said, but i think he was a decent man that got a lot of people upset because he wasn't afraid to say what he believed. Everyone has a right to different beliefs, and thinking different doesn't make someone stupid, ignorant, racist, phobic, a nazi, or a muslim. So, what is up with all the rumors, lies and hatred for him? I saw one girl on here post that he was "human" because he got caught with a hooker. when the heck did that happen? perhaps she got her scandals mixed up. i also think the racist allegation is unfair. yes, he was for segregation...as were practically all white people in the south. isn't admitting you were wrong and changing a sign of strength rather than weakness?
