[Star Wars] Why did the council automatically assume Maul was Sith when they knew Dathomir trains force sensitives and could have been starting a conflict?

Because Qui-Gon said he thought it was a Sith Lord. 

And Qui-Gon thought it was a Sith Lord because of a few things. His sudden, vicious attack. His immediate leap into combat. His lovely red lightsaber. His Jedi-level training, despite never having been a Jedi. Heck, the fact that he had a lightsaber *at all* without being a Jedi really narrows it down. 

And of course, he was completely silent and full of hatred. Jedi who fall tend to be kind of mouthy about it.
