The bigger picture is Christ is building His Kingdom regardless of what evil people plan or do.

It depends on where you are and what you are doing. Western muslims are not the same as muslims in muslim countries.
Iran does not care about secular muslims but if you become a evangelical christian they will torture you until you "repent" for apostacy. Relatively tolerant if you were never a muslim though - Irish Dominicans and Armenian Christians do fine there.
Saudi Arabia, forced to be outwardly religious, tortured until you repent, and will not let you set up christian churches.
Most gulf states are somewhere between those 2.
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, as long as you are not trying to be a preacher as an ex muslim, you should be fine. Except in some rural areas.
Turkey, you are fine.
Dagestan, killed.
Chechnya, killed.
Afghanistan, killed.
Urban Tajikistan, you are completely fine, rural Tajikistan you are killed.
Coastal Western Africa, not an issue at all. Inland western africa, killed.
Somalia, killed.
Other parts of east Africa, relatively high chance of getting killed but the majority are fine
Maghreb excluding Egypt, misdemeanor but you are spending a few months in jail.
Egypt, a decade in prison and the government takes everything you own.
Pakistan, your entire family will get killed.
Oh, and everything I just said is presuming you are just a Christian and not a political dissident. Because countries are far more willing to throw the book at you if you are a political dissident - and no, I am not just speaking about muslim countries there.
There are approx. 10 million Coptic Christians in Egypt, and while they are sometimes targeted at times, they have full religious protection under the law. Look up the writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers for some very inspiration Christian writing by the ancient Copts.
Except they are forced to use sharia as the legal system - such as inheritance disputes. And even that level of respect is because Mohammad's 11th and 12th wives were Egyptian Copts given to him so he wouldnt invade Egypt.
Coptics were Christians who became Muslim then reverted back to Christianity.
A the Coptics I've Ever met have a small cross tattooed on the web of their thumb.
Muslims do not like tattoos so this is a big deal and is not reversible so it shows their commitment.
I'm by no means an expert, but do not believe Coptic Chrisians in Egypt today are imprisoned for decade or lose their property like I saw in your comment. I believe a Copt now serves on Egypt's high court. I know they have existed from the 1st-2nd century AD, but don't know their entire history, but I don't believe the are persecuted under the law anymore. I don't doubt they may face personal persecution, but it's not state sanctioned, and from what I've read, their numbers may be much higher than the 10 mil reported. I have also personally met several, but did not notice a tattoo, but don't doubt you on it. The writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers are some of the most inspiring to reflect upon to me personally.
How about Malaysia, Indonesia?
Indonesians island hop to a Christian island, Malaysians move to Thailand.

In no case where I said "killed" was I referring to the government killing people. In every case I was talking about lynch mobs made by ordinary people. Especially in Pakistan - their government does not want to touch that with a 10 foot pole.
I lived in Jordan where all religions are tolerated. They have a large foreign workforce including Chinese belt and road initiative workers.
It's very tolerant and my barber was a Muslim. We became friends (siddiqs), that man shaved me with a straight razor 2x a week for the time I was there.
Just a simple man with a family and small business. A good guy who practiced the gentle things about Islam.
One day he asked me to convert, we talked many times about it and i explained that I could not change because Christians are permanent changed by the receiving of the gift of holy spirit.
One day I show up and he shaves me (I'm bald) and after invites me to his home.
Whe there he shows me N Arabic Christian Bible he purchased used.
So I found the verses Nd highlighted a bunch of stuff for him. I don't know what ever became of it as eventually I had to return to Iraq for work.
People all over only k ow what they're taught. It's the heart God looks upon. I think he still felt empty amd I was always so energized and as much as I could be loving toward him. I brought his children small gifts and usually brought cookies from a small bakery to share over tea with him. I'll never forget that guy and maybe when we are all gathered together I will see him among the saints. Wouldn't that be great.
Iran only executes 150 people a year and they are the Islamic nation that executes by far the most people. And less than 1/5 are even tied to religion, let alone religion being the main cause - most are violent criminals such as rapists, they like seeing rapists hanging from construction cranes. Of the religion cases, the vast majority have to do with criticizing Islam rather than anything to do with Christianity. Literally the only confirmed case of a christian getting formally executed in Iran by their government is Hossein Soodmand - for being an apostate preacher.
It is common people performing lynchings that target christians, but not governments to kill them.
