The rule seems to be that you don't count as a Muslim until at the age of puberty you formally declare that there is no God but God and that Muhammed is his prophet. That's fundamental, as in fundamentalist.

Fundamentalists might indeed think that it's a disgrace that the child of a man who was Muslim wasn't brought up so as to make such a declaration and become a Muslim, but that's quite a different matter.
