Stop discriminating against ancestors born in Syria

While working on my cousin-in-laws family who immigrated from Syria to Mobile, Alabama in the late 1800's, I discovered that no one can see them in familytree. Familysearch support says they are not in the public tree because they were born in Syria. It saddens me that these families who were Christians seeking religious freedom in America so long ago are still persecuted and discriminated against by familysearch.

Familysearch may think they are protecting the "sensitivities" of certain religions but in fact they are causing the descendants of these people to feel discriminated against.

This policy needs to change.
