According to the same federation, six million Muslims convert to Christianity annually worldwide. Some Muslim associations established in France argue, on the other, the figure of 50,000 converts to Islam, just for 2011.

 At least 20,000 Moroccans have converted to Christianity in Morocco, according to the Pew American research institute, which estimates the number of atheists in the country to nearly 10,000 people.

Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity. "Speaking yesterday in Paris, Bilek said that even in Saudi Arabia, birthplace of Islam and guardian of the two main Islamic places of worship, there would be 120,000 Muslim converts to Christianity. 2008 data indicate that Muslims were converted 5 million in Sudan, 250,000 in Malaysia, over 50 000 in Egypt, from 25 to 40,000 in Morocco, 50,000 in Iran, Iraq 5000, 10,000 in India , 10,000 in Afghanistan, 15,000 in Kazakhstan, 30,000 in Uzbekistan.
