Radical Islam. Is there anything about Islam that isn’t radical?
Bickford obviously read a true copy of the Holy Quran and followed the directions within it.
As long as that book exists, this type of thing will happen.
He was NOT a "radical Muslim", he was just a normal one doing his duty.
BTW, The Bickford name in New Hampshire and Maine goes back to the early settlers in the 1600s.
Can't get any more "American" than that.
If you have ancestry in northern New England going back to that era, you are most likely related to him.
