The historian argues that some ordinary people of Q were murderers. This is because the regime of Q was primarily made up of ordinary people, not just fanatics. Further, these ordinary people executed many others in pursuit of paradise.

In order for these ordinary people to be “murderers,” the historian assumes that execution in the name of an unattainable goal constitutes murder. The historian also assumes that ordinary people enthusiastically seeking paradise shouldn’t be considered fanatics.

Nothing in the stimulus mentions “justifying” murder. The historian never discusses whether or not these murders were justified, but just claims that they were murders.

The historian argues that ordinary people pursuing paradise are just ordinary people, not fanatics. What may or may not justify being a fantatic isn't relevant to the argument.

The historian supports the conclusion that many ordinary people in Q were murderers by stating that their goal of paradise was unattainable. This principle validates that claim by explicitly connecting the two ideas.

The historian doesn’t say anything about inhumanity. We also aren't talking about fanaticism in pursuit of paradise, since the historian is specifically discussing ordinary people who participated in the regime.

The historian says those people weren’t fanatics. Murderers, yes. But not fanatics. So this is irrelevant to the historian's argument about ordinary people in the regime of Q.
