I am very interested in converting from Islam to Judaism. How can I make this happen ? I do not know where to start.

First, you need to go to your local temple and speak to the Rabbi there. That's really the best way to start. It also depends on which sect of Judaism you plan on converting too. If you want to be Reformed, its a lot easier. If you plan to be Orthodox its a LOT harder to convert and it takes more time. It's worth it though. I'm a convert as well. If you're really interested, its very fulfilling.
DO NOT Listen to people that tell you its not for you. If that's what you really want to do, then do it. You're the only one that can determine if that's what you want and need to do or not. I strongly suggest sitting down with a Rabbi and learning what you need to do. It's only discouraged because the Jewish faith is highly involved, and demands a great deal of respect, most Rabbis will send you through personal trials through the meetings to determine if that is truly what you want and if you're ready. I takes time, but its worth it every little bit.
FOR THE LAST TIME, YES! YOU CAN CONVERT TO JUDAISM! Good lord people..

First off, do some research on Judaism. A great site is www.jewfaq.org. There is some very informative information there. Learn about the different sects of Judaism to see which you like the most. Secondly, contact a rabbi in your area. But don't be discouraged if he turns you away (Orthodox Rabbis mainly do this now); it is custom to turn the convert away 3 times before starting the conversion process. You will probably have to take an Intro to Judaism Class to start off with, then you will have to study for at least a year(so you can experience all of the holidays). Then, depending on what sect, if you are male you will have to be circumcised (or if you already are you will have to do a symbolic drop of blood), then be immersed in a mikvah(a ritual bath), and also go in front of of Beit Din, a group of three that you go up in front of and asks questions to affirm your faith and make sure you are ready to convert. It is a long process; I haven't done it yet but I heard it was definelty worth it.

your joking right taimur...
this is out of chariter for you but since you asked I will give you an answer. If you are in a location where their is a Jewish community go to an Orthodox Rabbi and speak to him, he will try to discourage you but if you are sincere you can start the process.
that's how to start. It also is a good Idea to pick up a few books or read some articles on Jewish Philosophy, Religion, and Law.
If you can email me I want to honestly know if this is a joke or are you serious.

Why do you want to convert to Judaism when you obviously dont know anything about it?

conversion to Judaism is strongly discouraged. it is a process that takes about 2 years and requires major life shifts. the ending benefits are not worth the effort. if you need more help, contact your local orthodox rabbi. if there is no local orthodox rabbi, you won't be able to convert unless you move (the conversion process might require that you move, anyway).

I knew someday, some malevolent person like you will do this business. Its an absolute disgrace to the Jews. How stupid you are, you have disclose your religion and hence maligned it by yourself and your immoral acts. But i dont generalize all the Jews with one brush because Quran says that there are good people among jews as well. Quran 3:110
It is an absolute disgrace to you. you forgot one thing... my name starts with CAPTIAL "T". next time, be careful.
shame on you. you have insulted your own religion .
