Muslim's young are automatically Muslim. There is no choice and in some countries those who change will have their lives threatened or livelihood persecuted. Other religions are liberal though their young can claim of their faith belongs to their parents yet their lives not threatened or livelihood in jeopardy if they change religion later on. Can the Muslim give this right to their young? This is the basic human and personal freedom but not for those who are born as children of Muslim parents.
This is therefore difficult for Muslim to integrate or interact with followers of other faith. Because of the faith, there are many things which Muslim regarded as forbidden under the rules of the faith, therefore, any integration will have to see that the other parties are offering them consideration or compliance to their faith before they can or wish to join in. So countries which have groups of Muslim will have problems to get them to integrate with nationals of other faiths.

Muslim's offspring are free to choose their religion when they reach the age of Majority "18 years old and in some countries 21years old". Most religions are so, in Christianity babies are baptized as Christians so is Judaism.
It is not true that muslim shall be killed, threatened or the like on conversion, a Muslim is free to visit the church afetr taking a permission from the church's pastor, He can have non-Muslim friends, It's really Normal.. The only restriction is that he Can't do any Muslim prayers in the church or Jewish temple so as not to offend them. I have a Muslim friend who converted and is living happily among his very religious family and among us.
PBU you!

Other faiths generally go like this:
Your parents start teaching the younger ones about GOD, but when the child comes of age its their choice.
One must have the freedom of choice in any event so that if they so choose to follow in whatever path their faith will be stronger.
In this case, the persons parents teach about the ways of Islam to the child. If the child accepts the teaching, then he/she will likely stay with the Muslim faith. If not, then the child will most likely suffer because of having a religion stuffed down his/her throat having NO choice.
Why do you think there are folks that don't believe in the existence of a GOD? (insert a supreme being here)

They are Muslim culturally just like jewish kids are jewish culturally, but in the USA you can choose to be whatever the hell you want when you get old enough to loosen the parental ties. In Saudi Arabia, not so much, I suppose, being that religious law and national law are one and the same.

You don't get to chose your religion.
Your parents are the determining factor. When you get to an age of 14 or so you start to make decisions, that is if the religion has not brain washed you. In my case the religion did not get a hold of me.
Although it was imposed on me with vigor. ( Catholic )

Sheperds who leave their flock always remember their sheep.
A circumsized Jew will always remember the reason of his circumsicion.
A Jehova's Witness or Amish youth would remember their castration and shame.
But, in the end, he who leaves without being asked to leave, returns without being called.

The child of a Jewish woman is a Jew. No options...no escape clause.

Yeh they have no freedom, many Muslims have children for the sole purpose of furthering their religion!

I'm not sure what your question is but a Jewish woman's children (but not a Jewish man's) are regarded as Jewish.
