    French Converts


    http://www.islamonline.org/English/News/2005-12/31/article04.shtml

    “An increasing number of Muslims convert to Christianity especially on Christmas,” Fadila, a Parisian of Algerian origin, told IslamOnline.net while handing out gospels translated into Arabic to people of North African appearance.

    There is no official data on the number of Muslims who converted to Christianity in France.


    But France Echos Web site, however, put at 7,000 the number of North Africans who converted to Christianity over the past few years.


    The Web site, which closely follows up news of proselytizing in the country, said some 50,000 Christians had reverted to Islam according to a 2004 study undertaken by French security agencies.

    7,000 vs. 50,000. Either some bad news, or just wrong inflated numbers. But hey.. 7,000 is a nice large crowd.
