Greetings Mohamed -
For several years during the 1980's, my younger brother was a Christian Missionary to Palestine and the West Bank, and for quite some time lived with Palestinian 'Christians' in Ramallah. Part of his missions work was to assist in rebulilding part of the Bethlehem 'Christian' Bible College, located in Bethlehem. I'll give you now ONE GUESS as to WHY it had to be rebuilt? That's right, it was partly DESTROYED by militant Muslims whom went on a spree of violence and destruction against Palestinians who were professing Christians.
Now, to answer your question, there are and will continue to be many whom convert from Islam to Christianity. The reason we DO NOT hear much about it is indeed because there is fear in the converts, and good reason for it! Upon his permanent return to the U.S., many Christian Palestinians followed my brother here and have since become citizens of the U.S. Only then, were they able to openly practice their faith without the fear of "disappearing without a trace," or "having their homes destroyed" or "losing their employment" as had all previously happened to many of their Christian friends and relatives in Palestine, Israel, Jordan and Syria.
Also, the Bible warned that there will be those who leave the faith (Christianity) follow others, and here's what it has to say:
"The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some will abandon the Faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, who's consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry (i.e. Catholicism) and order them to abstain from certain foods (i.e. Islam, Judaism, Catholicism, Hinduism), which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3. These verses were written some 500+ years before the birth of Mohammed. Now, you can claim the appearant accuracy of this written revelation to be mere coincidence...but I claim it be fulfilled prophecy.
Lastly, why do some professing 'Christians' convert to Islam? Because in all probability, they are NOT truly "saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, born-again" Christians, making them psuedo-Christians to begin with. I can't say that with great certainty, but it's a very safe assumption to make.
