The Terrorist group 'Harakat ul Mujahideen' have a Youtube Channel featuring videos for Al-Qaeda and quotes from the Quran and Hadith encouraging people to "fight for Allah":
"Not equal are those believers who sit back, except for those who are disabled, and those who fight in the Way ofAllah with their possessions and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who fight with their possessions and their lives, over those who sit back. And to all of them has Allah promised good (Paradise). But Allah has favoured the Mujahideen over those who sit at home by a tremendous reward, by higher grades from Him, and with Forgiveness and Mercy. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" [Quran 4:95-96]
Encouraging words of the Prophet (SAWS):
"It was asked, 'Oh Messenger of Allah! Which of mankind is most excellent? He (SAWS) repIied, A believer who fights in the Path of Allah with his self and his wealth."
"Standing for an hour in the ranks of battle in the Path of Allah is better than standing in prayer for sixty years."
"A morning or evening spent in the Path ofallah is better than the World an all it contains."
"In Paradise are a hundred levels which Allah has prepared for those who fight in His Way. The distance between consecutive levels is like the distance between the heavens and the Earth."

Nigeria: Rescue of kidnapped girls ignites islamic rampage
From Compass Direct News:
NINGI, Nigeria, May 19 (Compass Direct News) – Islamists under the auspices of a paramilitary force last week destroyed six churches to protest a police rescue of two teenage Christian girls kidnapped by Muslims in this Bauchi state town.
Police recovered the two Christian girls, Mary Chikwodi Okoye, 15, and Uche Edward, 14, on May 12 after Muslims in Ningi kidnapped them three weeks ago in an attempt to expand Islam by marrying them to Muslim men. Police took the two girls, who had been under foster care, to safety in southeastern Nigeria where their biological parents live. Read more

Dispatches: In God's Name | Channel 4
Play all videos (5)
Aired: May 19, 2008
Dispatches explores the growth and increasing influence of Christian fundamentalists.
As the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Bill continues its way through Parliament, David Modell follows some of the leading members of Christian pressure groups as they attempt to win converts and convince MPs to base laws on Biblical beliefs.
Hard-line Christian activists are now mobilising believers in an attempt to make an impact on society nationally. Followers believe abortion and homosexuality should be illegal, there should be no sex before marriage and that the law of blasphemy should be strictly enforced.
They say the Bible is the definitive word of God and is literally true and are intolerant of other faiths. The film follows well funded and politically active Christian groups and shows them emerging as a significant voice in British politics.
