Talk:List of converts to Islam from Judaism

Former Muslims
These are from the list of former muslims article, I originally moved them from there to this article, but realised "List of converts to Islam" has a larger number of them, and there's a lot of overlap. I'm going to put them below so they can be added (if there are any not currently in this list.) Please feel free to remove them from the list below if you find they're already in the article or you've added them. Thanks! Ncboy2010 (talk) 11:17, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
