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.

My thoughts too. As non-practicing Muslims they may have been more aware of the damage religious indoctrination can do and worried that their daughter/granddaughter may have been exposed to such beliefs.
