Also that christianity is a form of shirk.
This being the case why would any christian convert to islam? Surely for a christian realizing the quran is the ultimate truth it would be a pretty depressing time, you just realized you're definitely going to hell forever.
A Christian who convert to Islam is no longer a Christian, He will be a Muslim so he will not be in hell
The most converts to Islam are Christians because they already believe in God and his prophets (Noah, Moses, etc.)
When they read the bible and Jesus story they can realize easily it is not conforming with the old testament (One God, has prophets, good and bad)
While the new testament is talking about salvation, three gods, God has a son, etc.
