Trilogy? There are six Frank Herbert books in the series. > Of course we cannot verify it as a reader, but the trilogy alludes that genocide and despotic power consolidation and religious dogmatism were somehow necessary to prevent an otherwise even more terrible fate for humanity. I agree that certain characters in the books believe this. I think it would be a massive oversimplification to suggest the series wants us to accept that uncritically.
