26. Muslims are the least likely group to convert to Christianity, because
giving up Islam is considered just about the worst sin there is, especially among ethnic groups that practice conservative types of Islam.

Only the fundies still try to send missionaries to officially Islamic countries. Most of the indigenous Christians in places like Pakistan were converted during the colonial period, and other majority-Muslim areas in the Middle East (Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Palestine) have Christian populations that have been there since the earliest days of Christianity. Indonesia is the most populous Muslim majority country in the world, but not all its ethnic groups are traditionally Muslim. (The most well-known example is Bali, which is majority Hindu.)
