Stony Brook quickly became a popular summer resort for city dwellers attempting to escape the hazards and stress of urban life. The Long Island Rail Road reached Stony Brook in the 1870s, creating an easy link between New York City and the citizens of Stony Brook. Lacking the resources of its neighboring harbor settlements, Stony Brook based its economy on agriculture and the cordwood industry. This was completed twice, but after the harbor filled in both times the effort was abandoned. In the 1840s, local painter William Sidney Mount led a call for the harbor's dredging. The community's development was stalled by its poorly accessible harbor relative to nearby Setauket and Port Jefferson. Stony Brook was a remote area through the 18th century aside for a modest amount of commerce near the mill at the intersection of Main Street and Harbor Road. In the latter half of the 18th century, activity began to shift from the mill area north toward the harbor as new residences, a number of which still stand, were constructed. For religious services and education, the hamlet's original residents had to attend institutions in the neighboring communities of Setauket and St. The current structure, which replaced the original in 1751, ground grain into the 1940s and has since been repurposed for public tours. The Three Village Inn, housed in the c.1751 Richard Hallock homeĪ gristmill was built in 1699 on the water body now known as the Mill Pond. It is also home to the Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages and the Stony Brook Village Center, a privately maintained commercial center planned in the style of a traditional New England village.
The CDP is adjacent to the main campus of Stony Brook University, the largest public university in New York by area, and also The Stony Brook School, a private college preparatory school. The population was 13,740 at the 2010 census. Despite being referred to as a village by residents and tourists alike, Stony Brook has never been legally incorporated by the state. Begun in the colonial era as an agricultural enclave, the hamlet experienced growth first as a resort town and then to its current state as one of Long Island's major tourist towns and centers of education. By identifying sharia as the theme and religious leaders as its enablers, such an explanation facilitates our understanding of the causes and backers of this religious radicalism.Stony Brook is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, New York, United States, on the North Shore of Long Island. This article suggests the following primary explanation of the phenomenon: backed by the prestige and resources of Saudi Arabia, religious leaders have popularized the appealing theme of sharia as all-encompassing “divine law” to advance radical Islamist agendas. A new analysis of a 2013 Pew Research Center report suggests that sharia’s popularity in a community can make religious leaders and their radical ideas highly influential, while in communities where sharia has little influence, religious leaders and their radical ideas likewise lack influence.
This proposal further divides radicalization processes into primary and secondary ones the former are identified with the onset of radicalization in a community, and the latter develop in communities with longstanding exposure to the phenomenon. To address this issue, I outline a novel theoretical framework for conceptualizing Salafi radicalism in terms of an underlying theme and its enablers. What role religious leaders play in causing this phenomenon is not well understood. In particular, a form of Sunni Muslim radicalism called Salafi radicalism-embraced by jihadist groups such as al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Islamic State-has gained prominence. Abstract |The religion-invoking violent extremism called “radical Islam” has become a global threat.
