I grew up in an observant (devout?) Muslim household. When I questioned my faith, my folks didn't ban books. They encouraged me to read books by Muslims AND non-Muslims—Christian, Jewish, atheist, or other. It was life changing. And it's a message I'm passing on to my children now, and one I hope they pass to their children when the time comes.

Parents: Trust your kids. Ban ignorance—not books.

@QasimRashid One favourite qoute fits rather well, by Grundtvig, a Danish priest. In my very simple translation: "Human being firstly, Christian secondly, that is the order." We are all first and most of all human beings. Best wishes to you!
