US,ISRAELI ARMIES PLAN ETHNIC CLEANSING OF MIDDLE EAST
By Nafeez Mosaddq AhmedSeptember 1, 2006
In a little-noted article printed in early August in the Armed Forces Journal, a monthly magazine for officers and leaders in the United States military community, early retired Major Ralph Peters sets out the latest ideas in current US strategic thinking. And they are extremely disturbing.
Ethnically Cleansing the Entire Middle East
Maj. Peters, formerly assigned to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence where he was responsible for future warfare, candidly outlines how the map of the Middle East should be fundamentally re-drawn, in a new imperial endeavor designed to correct past errors. "Without such major boundary revisions, we shall never see a more peaceful Middle East," he observes, but then adds wryly: "Oh, and one other dirty little secret from 5,000 years of history: Ethnic cleansing works."

Stalin tried to purge the Chechens and they're still causing problems for Russia. I guess the only case of ethnic cleansing that actually really worked was of the native americans but that was in large part due to the introduction of foreign diseases to which the natives had no developed immunity.
As far as getting rid of religions though, the early Christians were pretty good at stamping out Roman paganism, which was the dominant religion at the time. The muslims have also stamped out plenty of Relgions during their expansion. In Muslim countries there are three classes of people which are muslims, dhimmis (protected person), and kafirs (unbelievers). In Iran a dhimmi would be a believer in Jeudaism, Christianity, or Zoroastrianism. Dhimmis are tolerated but are taxed specially and may be denied certain privileges given to muslims. Members of other relgions such as Baha'i are categorized as kafirs which are not legally allowed to practice their religion.
