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. Which one of the following principles, if valid, provides the most support for the historian's argumentation?
A: The pursuit of paradise does not justify murder.
B: The pursuit of paradise justifies fanaticism.
C: Execution in pursuit of what is later found to be unattainable constitutes murder.
D: Enthusiasm in pursuit of what is eventually found to be unattainable constitutes fanaticism.
