The fact that qunari are

Um when was nay of that said? Because none of that is true 
This. When the qunari gives their word, he keeps it. They never break a promise, most peopel just assume promises were made that were never made, such as the dwarf who thought killing tal-vashoth would get him the black powder recipe.
They're as much enemies of thedas as tevinter is an enemy of thedas, or orlais, or fereldan, or any other kingdom who would make a power grab to gain more influence and territory. The qunari invasion was actually less bloody than a normal army sacking a city.
Bad is subjective, something only determined by what side you are on. On a battlefield for instance, a precisely aimed bombshell, sniper shot, or manuver is considered good, or bad, depending on which side landed the strike. Calling them bad doesn't really prove anything except that you yourself are on their opposing side.
Qunari are frankly the most logical people on all of thedas. They belive in the greater good, and the collective good of the qunari people over personal freedom and choice. Theirs is the most efficient, sanitary, and probably best educated people on the continent. Don't forget that most of thedas is currently in a dark age like period where "a wizard did it" is a valid excuse in a court of law and woman aren't allowed to fight because men have a penis and woman have a vagina.
