It is a very unbalanced presentation of a few true facts. For instance: yes, the Kalachakra Tantra anticipates a final war between a Buddhist king and the forces of evil (probably Muslims, judging from the text). But it's hard to name a second text like this, even though there are many thousands to choose from, and Buddhists have never been inspired by it to wage actual war. As for all the scandals, yes, Buddhism has had its share, just as other religions have. Yes, Tibet was a feudal society full of numerous injustices, but could have evolved beyond this (as Europe did) without the dubious benefit of Chinese rule.
