This is dependable on the person on which religion he wants to
follow. Besides, end of the day, it's his relations with GOD. He's
answerable to his/her own deeds. I'm a muslim and there is a verse
in the Quran that states (bismillah) ''THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN
THE RELIGION" (amin) Qur'an Surah 2 (Al-Baqarah) verse 256. You can
double check it using the QuranExplorer website.
As a malay, we are not fully aware of this in Singapore but in
Malaysia and sadly, in the Arabian nations, we are. Just because
he's an Arab, does it means that he's a muslim? No.
Sadly, there are numerous ustaz(religious teachers) in the
arabian peninsula which from my view went agaisnt the verse i
quoted earlier.
Also, the reason why muslim covnert to christianity thru
observation is because of misunderstanding of the quran and it's
teachings. They think that the Quran preaches jihad and in actual
fact it is true but not really. You have to study the historical
timeline of the events that took place when the Quran was being
delivered to Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. At that time, the muslims in
Mecca were facing adverse suffering and torture by the idol
worshippers (Quraish). Also, the Quraish wanted a war agaisnt Islam
(REAL WAR with bloodshed) and with the permission of GOD, the
Muslims went to war in defence.
This goes to a verse in the Quran which i quoted from a video
answer by Dr. Yusuf Estes, a Muslim convert from christianity.
''Attack them (enemy) if they attack you. Otherwise, you are the
trangessor (guilty party). If they stop, you stop"

As mentioned by Dr. Estes, there is translation
misunderstandings. Do view this video if you want a cleare picture.
I find this beneficial regardless if you are Muslim, Jew or
Christian or even any religion you follow.
