Your thesis is that without the death penalty there would be more Ajmal Kasabs. That there are would-be-terrorists who don't act because of the death penalty.
To me, that's absurd on its face. Such persons are beyond reason. Don't forget, amongst this group are suicide bombers.
In the U.S. at least, its widely accepted that the death penalty is not a deterrent for murder, much less terrorism.[1]
