They aren't. It's a very common myth, spread by both religions, that "thousands" (or in some versions, "millions") of members of one religion are leaving and embracing the other religion. But statistics show that while both Christianity and Islam do a lot of missionary work, neither religion is attracting large numbers from the other. Sometimes, Christians or Muslims will spread this story because they sincerely believe their religion is the true one, and they think members of the other faith ought to convert. And sometimes, this story is spread after a few people convert from one religion to the other-- believers see this as a wonderful sign and then exaggerate the number to make it seem that their faith is winning the battle for converts. It is certainly true that some Christians have become Muslims. It is also true that some Muslims have become Christians. But it is not true that "thousands of Bible scholars" have embraced Islam.
