Don’t listen to mainstream media propaganda. Many Muslims have left Islam and the rate is accelerating. And yes if they leave Islam and give their life to Christ they are a new creation and should be welcomed as part of the brethren. Islam exists through ignorance, fear, violence, poverty, and cultural programming.

Is there a distinction between being Muslim and being Islamic? No.
