Do you think it's impossible for propaganda to reference actual events, even if they had been represented accurately?

More to the point, they're not represented accurately. The three videos contain lies and mischaracterizations, and ignore context.

Exactly. Trump doesn't care about facts, only about furthering his political agenda. It's concerning that anyone would take anything that Trump says at face value when he has proven himself time and time again to be a liar.

But the hate speech part of it is this -- even the most pro-gun control liberals don't suggest that every gun owner is a violent murderer. They don't respond to mass shootings in the news with, "Oh, sure, there are good gun owners out there." Using a video of an extremist to say the entire religion is evil is as stupid as if you broadened the generalization to say that all religion is evil, or if aliens from Alpha Centauri used it to conclude that all humans were evil, or carbon-based life.

If the religion were as vile as all that, people wouldn't be cherry-picking videos from political riots and straight up making things up, there'd be actual videos taken at home of the Muslim next door running amok, of preachers in the US advocating violence and oppression.

It's confirmation bias. People aren't interest in context or truthfulness, they just see something that supports their world view and therefore assume it to be true. As for religion, I would argue that any irrational belief is concerning, regardless of whether it is used to advocate violence or peace.
