If Dahmer repented all his sins and accepted the eternal salvation of Gods loving grace and all that business then he would be a reformed character like Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi, therefore no longer evil. In Islam he would just go into the fire of hell and that would be the end of it.

It's a question of taste I guess, you may prefer the Islamic approach. But I like the idea that even the very worst of people would have a chance to wipe their slate clean the offer is there even if they refuse it.
I guess the whole idea that someone so...."evil" (for lack of a better term)..could stand side by side with those who have lived "good" lives just doesn't sit well with me.
