YES. There were a number of Islamic countries that were sectarian in their outlook and, therefore, expelled Muslims who were believed to be of the wrong sect. The most clear attempts at this in the pre-modern era were the persecution by the Ottomans of the Shiite and Alevi minorities and the persecution of the Sunni minorities in Safavid Persia. In more recent times, the persecution of the Ahmadiyya minority in Pakistan, the forced relocation of Sunni and Shiite Iraqis, and the low-level ethnic cleansing of Hazaras in Afghanistan are examples of Muslims being expelled on account of their sect in Muslim-majority countries.
