Craig Considine

It was an honor to attend the inauguration of the historic Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. A mosque, church, & synagogue side-by-side, sharing the same space. It was an incredible environment filled w/ inspiring bridge builders & peacemakers. We are building a better world.

@LauraLoomer @ConceptualJames 500,000, if true, is madness. How many spies?

How about we ban all Chinese foreign students and we ban sales of land in the US to foreigners? Why does Xi’s daughter live in Massachusetts? China is our enemy. We can never be “partners” with Communists. I thought we all agreed on this. It’s been a rough week personally.

@IsmailRoyer Just seeing this. Let’s talk about flips. You went from being an actual convicted terrorist, having served time, to being … what exactly?

Dr. Considine has flipped a switch and gone from being pro-Muslim with an intensity that never made sense to reciting these talking points with an intensity that doesn’t make sense. The entire worldviews of Old Craig & New Craig are mutually exclusive. It’s a real head-scratcher.

Caught the light inside the Bundestag. I love that its architecture uses glass and natural light as a physical metaphor for political transparency. It is a deliberate and powerful rejection of the shadows of the 20th century - building a future that is completely open, accountable, and out in the light. 🏛️🇩🇪

Berlin’s Tiergarten is a peaceful green urban space. I walked its paths several times while in Berlin. Those moments were highlights of my time participating in the Abraham Executive Academy fellowship program. While I am alone in this picture, my contentment speaks volumes about what the program has done for me. At this moment, as I strolled through the quiet of the park, I was not actually alone. I carried with me the bridge-building conversations I shared over the last days with fellow participants ranging from Israel and Bahrain to Morocco and Indonesia. Those walks and dialogues reminded me of the immense power of cross-cultural engagement, mutual understanding, and shared hope. Grateful for the moments of quiet reflection and the lasting connections made.

@LutaDeClassesBR Your banner honors some of the deadliest human beings of the 20th and 21st century. Their common link = COMMUNISM.

@CraigCons Extreme (there's no problem in radicalism) are liberal ideas such as free markets; exporting democracy; etc.

Standing on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin, I found it impossible not to reflect on its darkest chapter - the 1933 fire. That blaze was weaponized to manufacture fear, suspend liberties, and demonize the "Other,” which set off an era of unprecedented hatred, culminating in the rise of Nazism and eventually the Holocaust. Thinking big picture, the history of the Reichstag drives my interfaith work. The 1933 fire is a clear reminder of what happens when fear is weaponized to fracture society. Countering that requires building resilient bridges between faith communities before crises occur, replacing "Us vs. Them" narratives with shared humanity. Today, the Reichstag stands fully restored under a transparent glass dome - a phoenix rising from the ashes of totalitarianism. My participation in the Abraham Executive Academy’s fellowship program reminds me that while history contains deep wounds, the 21st century is not condemned to stay there. Through people-to-people diplomacy and open dialogue, we can foster trust and build strong frameworks for peace out of the ruins of past divisions.

Honored to have participated in a high-level diplomatic summit recently in Berlin, Germany, organized by the Abraham Executive Academy alongside its partners, the @aai_germany (Abraham Accords Institute) and @KASonline (Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung). The summit brought together thought leaders from Abraham Accords nations and strategic allies to network, collaborate, and build actionable pathways for future cooperation. We kicked off the summit at the Bundestag, engaging in deep, productive dialogues with German politicians and leading academics from the UAE. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to these vital conversations and am thrilled about the impactful global opportunities arising from this summit.

Proud to welcome Dr. @CraigCons, Sociologist, Author and Lecturer at @RiceUniversity, to the #Lumenaries Committee. His first contribution further develops the reflection on #Abrahamism we explored during our latest #Abratalks conversation. 🌍 👉 open.substack.com/pub/abramundi/…

@realMaalouf Bias in academia.

Can someone explain why Europeans in America or Australia are labeled as colonizers, while Arabs in the Levant and North Africa are considered indigenous?

This you? Virtue Signaler - It describes someone who expresses opinions or takes actions intended to demonstrate their good character or moral correctness on a particular issue, often without a meaningful commitment to the cause. Performative Activist - This is frequently used when the signaling happens in a social or political context. It refers to someone who participates in "activism" primarily for social capital or to improve their own image rather than to create actual change. Moral Grandstander - A term often used in philosophy and social science. A "grandstander" uses moral talk to enhance their own status or to convince others that they are more ethically superior than they actually are. Pharisaical - A more formal or historical term derived from the biblical Pharisees, describing someone who is hypocritically censorious or self-righteous about following moral "rules" while ignoring the spirit of them.

Hannah, thank you. Whatever I've risked is a fraction of what Palestinians live through enduring Israeli brutality and dispossession every day, simply for being Palestinian. I count myself among the privileged and I will not stop advocating for the liberation of Palestine. Neither should anyone.

@HamasAtrocities “Mother mustache.”

Wait, what? Christian NUN MOTHER Agapia Stephanopoulos speaks about the "ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing" targeting Christians in the Holy Land... A NUN?

@HillelNeuer @DrCaseyBabb This is the most glaring post I’ve seen on this platform in years. Should be front page news and part of every sociology and political science syllabus in the West.

@MaxNordau Caliphate first.

Nobody has explained to me how this is America First.

@MaxNordau That’s exactly what it is.

I’m sorry, but can someone explain what the hell Daniel Haqiqatjou and Hassan Shibly have to do with putting America First? Because this looks an awful lot like an Islamic supremacist scheme.

A productive week of high-level meetings at the Bundestag in Berlin. 🇩🇪 Our discussions focused on the strategic evolution of the Abraham Accords and their role in fostering people-to-people diplomacy, regional stability, and economic cooperation. These kind of dialogues remain a cornerstone for building lasting peace frameworks. Standing before the Reichstag, I was reminded of its historical gravity. This building has transitioned from a site of authoritarianism to a symbol of democratic resilience. Germany serves as a teacher in “turning the corner” - its example shows us that peace can be reached even despite seemingly insurmountable odds. It has been a privilege to engage with German policy-making at such a critical level. Thoroughly enjoyed the intellectual energy of Berlin.

@NYMag Deport.

“Last March, a fog took hold in my head and never left. It settled there somewhere between the moment a DHS agent asked me, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ and the moment I realized that I would miss the birth of my first child,” writes Khalil. A year ago, the Trump administration unlawfully arrested Khalil at his home and detained him for 104 days. “I walk free now, only after an army of lawyers sued the administration for targeting me because of my pro-Palestine speech. But the government is relentless in targeting me,” he writes. “So when I walk, I watch my back.” “When strangers approach me and ask, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ — the same words in the same expectant tone the DHS agent used before the handcuffs — I do not know if they want to shake my hand or spit in my face. I do not know whether they will say, ‘Thank you for what you're doing,’ or follow me through midtown aggressively shouting, ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’ Both have happened. At first glance, I can never tell them apart.” In a new essay, Khalil writes about grappling with these two truths: “That I walk through the city afraid and that the city, in small and persistent ways, tells me I am welcome. That I am watched and that I am seen.” Read it in full: nymag.visitlink.me/tM03B5

3.3 million Christians in Pakistan — living under threat. MEF’s new Dhimmitude Project launches with a landmark study documenting blasphemy laws, forced labor, and enforced second-class status. This isn’t anecdotal. It’s systemic. meforum.org/press-releases…

@FreeBeacon In other words, he is a terrorist sympathizer.

EXCLUSIVE: Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed said at a campaign event last year that terrorists commit “heinous act[s]” because they feel “pain and frustration,” citing “hypocritical” U.S. actions that are “creating pain,” footage exclusively obtained by the Free Beacon shows.
