She lived in Bahrain -- not Qatar, I grant you, but it's an Arab Gulf country, so he's surrounded by the sights, sounds, and people of his Arab heritage.
She had him enrolled in a British school, yes, but he was taking Arabic and Islamiyat classes in addition.
She maintained regular contact with his relatives here.
Seems to me that she went over and above what most people would have done in a similar situation.
One wonders if his Qatari family will show a similar level of commitment to maintaining his "British" cultural heritage here while they have custody of him.
I doubt it.
