but the parallel I have in mind is the downfall of Nazism in Germany.
That took the systematic leveling of a good chunk of Germany, just for starters. Perhaps not an optimal parallel.

The parallel was not between the specific route and methodology used, but the eventual outcome: the religious extremists must come to be viewed with the same revulsion with which the Nazis are viewed today. My point was that this can happen only through a massive propaganda campaign generously supported from outside.
