I find that most persecutions are done by the main opponent of that specific group.

In other words Turks and Kurds are the same in the eyes of Pakistanis for example. However amongst themselves they are quite conflicted. Kurds are a racial group of people who constitute minorities in several countries. Some of them are Shi’a and others are Sunni.

Then sometimes there is a more sophisticated form of persecution - which is called exploitation … Rather than beating the ‘annoying counterpart’ in to submission, many states opt to subdue them into ‘servitude’ and denigrate their class - providing them fewer opportunities for equality.

Are there any examples where a religious group (sub-group) was suppressed / exploited due to their religious connections?

One more question that is also relevant here is why minority sects in a religion (be it Qadiyani, Agha Khani / Ismaili) are normally more resourceful than the majority. Do persecutions lead to actions which guarantee stability in long run?
