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 Religion is ignorance. It requires belief over reality.

@POSUTtRUmp funny that’s how I feel about atheism. But I hope we both agree that people should be allowed to believe or not believe without discrimination or oppression, and religion and state should remain separate.

The word 'believe' is the key.

There is absolutely no problem at all in someone wanting to 'believe' something. The problems arise because people who 'believe' are so often manipulated by those who led them to 'believe'.

Sadly, this has been the cause of massive human suffering, violence, persecution and hate for thousands of years.
