How could Jesus be seen as a terrorist as he would only talk about spiritual stuff and not be violent at all, so nobody would think that he might be a terrorist. He might be called Hippie or crazy or just spiritual. If he would talk in public places, very few people would listen to him, unless he would do some miracles, changing water into Coca Cola or multiplying Hot dogs… So probably he would use the Internet for his message, but also here the response would be poor, there are just too many who are trying to say something important, essential and new... But as people like to follow a leader, he would find enough disciples and could make a cyber community, for sure more successful than when he was walking the countries two thousand years ago, as it is much easier from a computer to follow him.
Reflecting about the possible situation, one can think that Jesus would have a serious conflict with the religious system established by Christianity and then when he would talk critical about it, then it could be possible that the authorities would put him in the same box together with terrorists, in case he would go with his message into the media and so becoming dangerous. Or if he would talk publicly against the pharma industry or an other power/money system, then it might be possible that he would be eliminated. If he would stay only in the Internet, probably the authorities wouldn’t take him serious. If he would have joint the career of a politician, to have more influence and a significant number of people would listen to him, then when he would be really successful, then the opposite would find a way to crucify him. It is also possible that his followers then would react, but as he was teaching no-violence and insisted on it, so they wouldn’t do anything that they could be seen as terrorists.
To have really an impact on a great number of people, I would suggest that he doesn’t start to teach being only twenty years old. He should first study various fields, for example Computers & Internet, Social Science, Society & Culture, Politics & Government, Health, Public Relations, Yahoo Products, etc. Then he should use Film, Television and all possible media to publish and distribute his message and of course he should write several books… Once being famous and publicly accepted, nobody would get the idea that he is a terrorist.

PS: And seriously: He could then convince all terrorists not to use violence, making it absolutely clear that violence only can provoke more violence, but can not solve any problem. Here he could practise his teachings and demonstrate 'love'.
Of course he wouldn't only talk about 'spiritual stuff' he would be very direct and point out our laziness, our way to destroy ourselves with habits and attitudes, our materialistic world view. He would point out how we could the state being a victim when suffering, change into a creative happening and many more very practical aspects to solve our daily life problems. He probably would teach relaxion techniques and much more. But all this information is already offered and people if they want can find out about it and then use it. So maybe he only would need to use his strong convincing energy to make people reflect about their situation and then do something creative about it, what means to take self responsibility, getting out of dependencies and confront their situation, looking at themselves and working on themselves...

a terrorist would give their life for the sins of the world? Terrorists hate- JESUS LOVES. Where do people get crazy ideas like this. A terrorist may take his own life, when he takes the life of many- like on 9/11- and other suicide murders, however Jesus died so that others may live-

No, he would not be considered a terroist or a threat because he has never condoned violence. He would just be considered a nut job false prophet once again simply because no one gets it. Still. I highly doubt that any of the mainstream Christians would even know who he was due to their huge investment in religion and severe lack of spiritualism.

Look at your first answer.
The only violent act Jesus committed in the bible was overturning the tables of the moneychangers.
How in the world did you come up with "terrorist" because He taught us to LOVE and RESPECT others?

For you to ask that question it is plain to see that you have not
met Jesus.
I would suggest you read The Bible (His Word) and learn of
him and from him then see if you can ask that question again.
Don't go by public opinion,hearsay and what your friends say
but read for yourself.
I would say start with the fourth book in the New Testament
which is the gospel John.
And if you have a word of prayer before you start reading and
simply ask God to help you to understand his word,then if you
are honest with yourself, read just one chapter at a time
prayerfully and carefully I believe you will meet my Saviour
and Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
Please don't leave this earth before reading it.It is our recipe
for life, a blueprint for life, a roadmap in life, it is God's love
story to mankind displayed by the Lord Jesus Christ dying on
that cruel cross so that you and I might get to heaven.

Well, when he returns, he is going to kick some serious butt, but only on the evil people...
so I guess THEY might consider him a terroist...
but the first time around he came as a sacrificial lamb to be offered up as the final passover sacrifice to pay the price for the redemption of all mankind;
1st visit: as the Lamb of God,
2nd visit: the conquering Lion of Judah.

No, he would not be. He may be considered the opposite, as a social reformer who wants peace and people to treat each other with kindness and respect.

Here is something to think about:
The only violent act Jesus committed in the bible was overturning the tables of the moneychangers.
On Sept 11th, the World TRADE center was destroyed.
Connection?
