There is no way to justify the murdering of Paarthurnax.

Yes, he(all dragons, actually) may have commited great atrocities against mankind long ago, but if not for him, that would still be happening. Kynareth gave mortals the power to shout, and Paarthurnax was the one who teached them how to use it.

The Blades do not want justice. They want vengeance. They truly are Akaviri barbarians who see the slaying of all dragons as the only way of bringing peace to Tamriel. My character could care less about what they think of her. Actually, she would very well kill the last of them if they weren't a possible help in a future battle against the Thalmor.

Finally, '''dragonborn are dragon souls bound to mortal bodies. They are child of Akatosh, the father of all dragons. They are special because, as inborn dragons, they have a natural ability to shout, learning it almost without effort. The whole "dragon-slayer" thing is an idea created by the Blades that became popular when the dragons attacked mortals again.''' Sure, in 4E 201 the dragonborn had to kill dragons. But only because it was the only way to save mortals. It's pretty much the same as human wars. During wars, humans attack individuals of the same race, but in times of peace, killing someone from your own species is a VERY evil thing.

If anything, it could be argued that dragonborn are just as much of a treat as dragons that follow Paarthurnax's philosophy: both have the desire to dominate inside their nature, both try to control this desire. It is only much easier to dragoborn because they are raised together with common mortals, thus learning their moral and ethics.
