Historian: Anyone who thinks that the terrors of the ancient regime of Q were exclusively the work of fanatics is overlooking a basic truth: the regime was made up primarily of ordinary people enthusiastically seeking paradise  The regime executed many people in pursuit of its goal; but it later became clear that paradise, as they defined it, is unrealizable
So at least some of the ordinary people of Q were in fact murderers
The pursuit of paradise justifies fanaticism.
