I don't think the statement that the child's mother was born into the Muslim faith makes much sense or that much difference to the discussion we've had in this thread. You aren't born into a faith, you are taught one and in this case Islam clearly wasn't what this child had been taught.

It seems rather like saying my mother was born believing in fairies so this must bear some reflection on me too and yet she'd never told me anything about the fairies she came out of the womb believing in. Sounds a bit daft doesn't it?

If one set of grandparents were non practising Muslims that seems kind of irrelevant since they were non practising.
