The premise that Buddhism is anti-violence feels like a misunderstanding on itself.
The paper addresses this well, Buddhist ethics are situation and pacifism isn't absolute nor it means to accept whatever others do. Pacifism *is not* passivism.
Plus, Buddhist states may twist what means to be a monk, after all, being a monk becomes a position of power in a religious state... Just like in any other religion.
