I'm relatively sure she didn't want to annoy him, but I don't see what that has to do with whether he's done something wrong.
He cannot change the way he [i]feels[/i], he can only control how he [i]acts[/i]. From what he's said, he accepted the gift graciously and rather than let it gather dust, will sell it to someone who can use it and use the money for something positive - exactly the sort of behavior encouraged by the book anyway.
It just sounds like you called him a douchebag because you are offended he doesn't buy into your particular religion.

I offer my apologies if it sounded that way. But what I'm trying to say is that he needs to appreciate the gesture. The gesture that she's probably trying to guide her grandson the best way she knows how. Would a loving grandson begrudgingly accept a gift, then sell it behind her back? He even agreed with a comment saying that she was an a-hole. How disgusting.

The only way to get this across to you is to have you imagine how you would feel if your relative gave you a copy of the Quran despite knowing you have other beliefs. Wouldn't you find it inappropriate and rather offensive, even if you knew they believed they were doing the right thing?
