@op ayou want to count individual converts from Islam to Christianity? Ok lets count former Christian countries: Turkey, Egypt , Syria, Palestine.....
Turkey was never 100% Christianity, only a part was mainly Christian. The city is Constantinople which was later changed to Istanbul!!!

Egypt was never 100% Christianity, even though Christians existed there. There were religions of the Pharaoh's and it's people worshipped dead Pharaohs. There was great amount of Jews, but they were persecuted by the Byzantine Empire(Christians)

Syria wasn't 100% Christianity, there many religions which existed way before Christianity. Judaism and other religions also was practiced!

Palestinians were mostly Jews not Christians. This was the land in which Jesus dwelt, don't lie here. Palestine was a large Jewish land!!!

Ok even if they are not 100% Muslims, the point is we are not talking of individual converts here we are talking of whole cities towns or areas.
As for Palestine, go and check history you will find that the Romans under Titus sacked Jerusalem in the year 70 after Christ, leading to the Jewish dispersal. the Muslims took control of Jerusalem when Patriarch Sophronius (a Christian) surrendered the keys of the city to the Muslims in the year 637 (more than 500 years after the Jews have gone into diaspora)
