Firstly Calanen, as I said,
there's no doubt there's odd convert from Islam.
But they're certainly nowhere near as extant as

Pakistan: Christians find Bible burned, note warning they'll "burn in the fire of hell" and must convert to Islam if they want to "live in peace"
No effigy burnings, no raging "Christianist" mobs. Compare the reactions we have seen when someone even alleges that a non-believer damaged or showed disrespect toward the Qur'an.

Muslims converting to Christianity by the thousands in France
In the face of ostracism and death threats -- in accord with Muhammad's command to kill those who leave Islam. "Muslims converts face ostracism in France," from ZeeNews, with thanks to Morgaan Sinclair:
Muslims are converting to Christianity in their thousands in France but face exclusion from their families and even death threats.
Most Muslims hide their conversion and Protestant ministers do their utmost to protect new converts. It is estimated that every year in the world some six million Muslims convert to Christianity.
The Muezzin call to prayer. But here in France it is no longer reaching all Muslim ears.
Around 15,000 Muslims each year are converting to Christianity - around 10,000 to Catholicism and 5,000 to Protestantism....
