In 2008, Considine directed{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}, edited, and did the cinematography for [[Akbar Ahmed]]'s ''Journey into America'', an amateur documentary which received limited release. The documentary follows Akbar Ahmed and a group of young researchers as they document Muslim experiences in America.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|last=Lakhani|first=Kalsoom|date=October 21, 2009|title=The many faces of Islam in the United States|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/497780/the-many-faces-of-islam-in-the-united-states|url-status=live|access-date=July 22, 2021|website=Dawn|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012062518/https://www.dawn.com/news/497780/the-many-faces-of-islam-in-the-united-states |archive-date=2019-10-12 }}</ref> The documentary was funded by [[Dar al-Islam (organization)|Dar Al Islam]], an institution in [[New Mexico]] for Islamic education.<ref name=":3" /> Neither [[Rotten Tomatoes]] nor [[IMDb]] records any reviews by professional critics or audience members<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/journey_into_america|title=Journey Into America | Rotten Tomatoes|website=www.rottentomatoes.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1482892/|title=Journey Into America|date=July 4, 2009|via=IMDb}}</ref>. A review in [[Anthropology Today]] described the documentary as "a combination of morality tale and road movie", summarizing that it is "intricately composed" although "inconveniently long"<ref>{{Cite journal|url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/25599039|title='You'll See How Big We Are': "Journey into America"|author=Benthall, Jonathan|year=2009|journal=Anthropology Today|volume=25|issue=5|pages=23-24|via=JSTOR}}</ref>. |
||
When Considine asked his professor about the project, Ahmed replied that it lacked a sufficient budget for him to come on. To join Ahmed in his [[research project]], Considine sent his resume to around 60 organizations. In the end, he received the funding he needed from [[Dar al-Islam (organization)|Dar Al Islam]], an institution in [[New Mexico]] that seeks to promote the education of Islam in America.<ref name=":3" /> |
|||
With the grant, Considine was able to join Ahmed on his journey across the United States. He filmed Ahmed's group as they interviewed American citizens across 75 different cities and 100 mosques.<ref name=":4" /> Considine also took charge of editing and processing the film. Later, his footage was used by popular news channels, such as [[BBC World News America]] and [[CNN]].<ref name=":3" /> |
|||
⚫ | |||
Throughout the many interviews conducted by Ahmed and his team, they found that some people thought that Muslims could not be Americans. Conversely, they also interviewed American Muslims who were proud to be [[citizens of the United States]]. Considine was very much involved in the entire process. He hoped that the film would help bridge the relationship between American Muslims and the rest of the country. According to Considine, people of varying faiths need to be understood.<ref name=":3" /> |
|||
''Journey into America'' premiered at the [[Islamic Society of North America]] conference in Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2009. The documentary was produced and narrated by Ahmed and directed by Considine.<ref name=":3" /> Ahmed also wrote a book on his experiences entitled ''Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam''.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Ahmed|first=Akbar|title=Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam|publisher=Brookings Institution Press|year=2010|isbn=9780815704409}}</ref> Both the documentary and the book are a follow-up to a different study conducted by Ahmed. It was entitled ‘Journey into Islam’ and followed the same researchers as they traveled across Muslim countries. The research study also sprouted a documentary<ref>{{Cite web|last=WoodrowWilsonCenter|date=October 1, 2013|title=Journey Into Islam|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbNay18KdfI|url-status=live|access-date=July 23, 2021|website=YouTube|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607053947/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbNay18KdfI |archive-date=2021-06-07 }}</ref> and a book.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Akbar|first=Ahmed|title=Journey Into Islam: The Crisis of Globalization|publisher=Brookings Institution Press|year=2007|isbn=9780815701323}}</ref> |

The documentary garnered praise for the team's dedication to their research. Ahmed's work has cemented him as a contemporary [[cultural anthropologist]]. With Considine's help, he was able to document the operation and distribute the finished material.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Benthall|first=Jonathan|date=October 2009|title=Review: 'You'll See How Big We Are': "Journey into America"|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25599039|journal=Anthropology Today|volume= 25| issue = 5|pages=23–24|doi=10.1111/j.1467-8322.2009.00689.x |jstor=25599039 |via=JSTOR}}</ref> |

Considine's first book was published in 2017. It tackled what he referred to as ‘[[Pakphobia]]’ or the aversion to [[Pakistan]] in the Irish and American context. To gather information for the book, Considine met with over 40 people. He engaged them in interviews and held [[focus group]]s to build his book. Through his research, he found that Pakphobia in the Irish and American context stemmed from how the individuals viewed [[Pakistanis]] as Muslims. This then taps into a perceived threat of Muslims and [[radical Islam]].<ref name=":2" /> Considine garnered praise for the book's accessibility. Reviewers laud the text for being easy to understand for both academics and laypeople. Considine is also praised for putting together a vast selection of anecdotes from Pakistanis of varying ages and backgrounds.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|last=Ahmad|first=Awais|date=May 29, 2017|title=Review: Islam, Race, and Pluralism in the Pakistani Diaspora|url=https://www.rabwah.net/review-islam-race-pluralism-pakistani-diaspora/|url-status=live|access-date=July 22, 2021|website=Rabwah Times|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726145232/https://www.rabwah.net/review-islam-race-pluralism-pakistani-diaspora/ |archive-date=2020-07-26 }}</ref><ref name=":9">{{Cite web|last=Faruqi|first=Saadia|title=Islam, Race, and Pluralism in the Pakistani Diaspora (Studies in Migration and Diaspora)|url=https://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/book-review/islam-race|url-status=live|access-date=July 22, 2021|website=New York Journal of Books|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027160400/https://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/book-review/islam-race |archive-date=2020-10-27 }}</ref> |

He's been invited to Podcast Noor, hosted by Noor Al-Huda, where he talked about the commonalities between Jesus and Muhammad.

Craig Michael Considine (born 10 June 1985) is a teaching professor based in the Department of Sociology at Rice University, where he is a Senior Lecturer.[1] Considine has written books on Christian-Muslim relations, Prophet Muhammad’s interactions with Christians, and Islam in America.
Life and career
Birth and family
Craig Considine was born in 1985 and spent his childhood in Needham, Massachusetts. He is of Irish and Italian descent.[2] In his youth, Considine attended the Catholic school Saint Bartholomew's Church and the Needham Public Schools system[citation needed]. As a college student, he wanted to study Arabic and become an intelligence agent, so that he could spy on ‘bad’ Muslims[citation needed]. At the time, he had never even met a Muslim, and admitted to having fallen into the ‘Islamophobia trap.’[3] In 2001, Considine first experienced discrimination against the Muslim community. On the day the World Trade Center was hit, his class was told that it was a terrorist attack. And on the days following this event, Considine overheard his schoolmates saying, ‘Down with Muslims.’ According to him, this was not something he could stand by.[4]
Education
After graduating from Needham High School in 2003[citation needed], Considine attended American University[citation needed], where he pursued a Bachelor of Arts in International relations[citation needed]. Considine studied a master's in science in International Relations at the Royal Holloway, University of London[citation needed]. Considine graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2015 with a PhD in sociology.[1] His PhD thesis focused on young Pakistani men in Dublin and Boston.[5]
Teaching Career
Considine holds the position of Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Rice University.[1] In 2020 he received the Sarah A. Burnett Teaching Prize in the Social Sciences from Rice University.[6] As of 2024, Considine has a h-index of 6.[7]
Documentary and Books
Journey into America (documentary)
In 2008, Considine directed[citation needed], edited, and did the cinematography for Akbar Ahmed's Journey into America, an amateur documentary which received limited release. The documentary follows Akbar Ahmed and a group of young researchers as they document Muslim experiences in America.[8] The documentary was funded by Dar Al Islam, an institution in New Mexico for Islamic education.[4] Neither Rotten Tomatoes nor IMDb records any reviews by professional critics or audience members[9][10]. A review in Anthropology Today described the documentary as "a combination of morality tale and road movie", summarizing that it is "intricately composed" although "inconveniently long"[11].
Islam, Race, and Pluralism in the Pakistani Diaspora
Considine's first book was published in 2017 by Routledge.[12] It was about what he referred to as ‘Pakphobia’ or the aversion to Pakistan in the Irish and American context and the perceived threat of radical Islam.[3]
Muslims in America: Examining the Facts
Considine's second book was published in 2018 by Bloomsbury.[13] It is part of a series published by Bloomsbury to provide simple introductions, in the form of 30-40 questions and answers, to non-expert audiences[14]. Considine's book provides a brief introduction to 31 questions about Muslims in American society.[15]
The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View
In 2020, Considine's "The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View" was published by Blue Dome Press[16]. In the book, Considine offers a Christian perspective on Islamic beliefs.[17] The book received a positive review in Memo: Middle East Monitor, describing the book as "clearly a heartfelt and very personal perspective."[18]
