I was rather hoping you would know so you could defend your assertion better.
EDIT: Edited with a link. I'll check that.
EDIT: What an inconvenient link. How am I supposed to find anything in there? Even when I find an Iranian it has nothing useful on the subject. This won't do at all.

I was just making the simple point that Muslim countries also employ banishment as a form of punishment. (Not a religion known for its restraint from using the death penalty)
Normally banishment is used on people who have friends in high places.
I haven't seen any information that shows that budhist countries ever used banishment for murderers who have been analyzed, as Verithrax's link implied, but I could be wrong there.
Ex political and religious leaders are often banished, or people who write things and protest things. Often done as a sign of Mercy from the "benevolent dictator"

Ah. That makes sense. I assume that's for different crimes though - in that case, banishment isn't an alternative to the death penalty so much as a different punishment for an altogether different set of crimes.

Bigotry had gripped the king to such an extent that he enforced his direction, "Either adopt Islam, or accept death or banishment" throughout Kashmir. People were given option to choose one among the three alternatives. It meant for Hindus banishment if they refused to adopt Islam. But it was not easy to leave Kashmir and survive. People were killed while fleeing. The Shariat laws and principles were made the constitution of Kashmir. The second writer of Rajtarangani, Joanraj, has written "not a single village or town was spared where places of worship and temples were not damaged and destroyed. Many Hindus lost their courage and accepted conversion. Many migrated from Kashmir and many committed suicide."
