     Interesting if true.

   From a quick search, it's technically true but potentially presented in
   a misleading manner.
   Afghanistan - Arrival of Islam 6AD
   Lebanon - Arrival of Islam 7AD
   The decline of Hinduism in Pakistan is more recent, and largely
   coincides with when they gained independence - 1947. A lot of Hindu's
   left for India, with a lot of Indian Muslims migrating to Pakistan.
   You can do exactly the same for Christianity though, and at similar
   distances into the past
   Britain - Various Pagan gods (and Roman gods) supplanted by
   Christianity
   France - Various Pagan gods
   Scandinavia - Ditto
   Africa - in various countries, misc gods replaced by either
   Christianity or Islam
   About the only takeaway really is that religions sometimes get replaced
   (or "tweaked") by new religions, sometimes that's the result of a
   military invasion, sometimes it just happens over time and sometimes
   there's no change at all.
   None of which should be particularly surprising.
   IOW, the following claim is unsupported by the "evidence" provided

     Europe will be the next to fall
     Then America------and Australia
