The idea all Muslims are homophobic is a dumb generalization. Call it a stigma. Corrupt police exist in Turkey, and not all of them are Muslim. The idea you're giving that Turkish police have to be Muslim is as racist as their actions were homophobic.

Please don't be hypocritical. I'm sure anti-theists have some level of respect for religious people.

It doesn't matter if it's all or most if the leadership, law and religion are the issues, not the people who are the exception

The law is the issue, I agree. Not religion as much. People are still given the right to a fair trial. The issue arises when police think they can do random stuff without any reason other than vague and pathetic understandings of the law.
