It seem you have not researched and understood the essence of the religion.
Note my point above that the religion itself is inherently evil based on evidence, i.e. from the holy text itself.
Based on existing evidence how believers are so impulsive and driven to kill even upon drawing of cartoons, it is very possible they [those in the OP] were driven as duty bound to kill based on the dream.
what your culture categories as "religion" is in Muslim eyes the way of life and to live that actually is agreed upon within the culture and nations that are rule by the same, "Islam". same with Israel in the none Israelite eye its a religion but in its day, the Tora is the law of the land that the nation Israel lived by and agreed to.
now saying, I had a dream that my god told me to kill you because in my dream you did something to offend, is a lie and fabrication no matter what religion or culture one goes by.
If say, a Christian A dreamt God told him to kill Y, and if A really killed Y, it as nothing to do with Christianity at all because the Gospel of Christ commanded Christians to love all even enemies.
In this case, no one and others are at fault, A is solely responsible as a murder plus as being human and not because he is a Christian. Christianity has nothing to do with the murder.
The OP is different,
in that case, the Muslims dreamt the girl offended God, they sensed her as threat [in addition to other experiences], therefrom obeying the commands of their God as stated in the holy texts, they proceeded to kill the girl.
The point is the religion as constituted in the holy texts facilitate the killing of the girl, so the problem lies more with the religion and less on the murderers.
The justification is, if there is no such holy texts and God, there will be nothing to trigger those believers [to save their souls] to kill an innocent girl.
Get the point?
It is the same with the prevention of vulnerable children to violence in the media, videos, cartoons, texts, etc. by getting rid of them.
So getting rid of the religion will ensure no vulnerable believers are triggered to kill non-believers in various vague situations.
They don't have the right to kill any humans in any circumstances, especially with reliance on religious sentiments.in the case of drawings (in Texas it was, I presume) they had no right because they were not within their own culture and or country where they would agree to enforce such things because it would be the law of the land.
It is not what the prophet said.but as far as Islam being evil; yea, I agree seeing it claims the same God of Abraham, which is a lie. Muhammad the prophet of Islam instructed Muslims to hate Jews, and that is completely contrary to the God of Israel's will. Muhammad found his god in the building in mecca that in his day was a temple for many idols. not the place where one would find the God of Abraham.
That the religion is inherently evil is supported by the evil laden texts in their holy book delivered from their God via the prophet.
One has to read the 114 chapters, 6236 verses and appx. 77,000 words in the holy text to understand the evil essence within that holy books. There are good things therein but the nett is net-evil.
