My dear friend (maverick), yes, i too have read that. That conversion has got to do with the love for that guy. The conversion i am talking about is for the love of ISLAM. That's too during the holy pilgrimage. But what i m saying is true my friend. Islam is the fastest growing religion, specially among non-muslims. You search that on Google or any other sites. Inspite of being critized and being projected in the most negative way, people are still getting attracted towards the beautiful religion of ISLAM. During the book fair in patna, the largest selling book was "Holy Quran" it was purchased by many non-muslims. I request you also to read the Holy Quran with meanings to know the real teachings of Islam.
