There is one called "Saved" and there is a documentary called "Jesus Camp." Those are the only ones I can think of unless you count something like "United 93" or "World Trade Center" which are more about events caused by religious extremism that extremism itself.

DUNE...
It is actually very prophetic... it deals with the concept of jihadism, and build with loads of islamic terms... yes, the story is very much sci-fiction, but there is still a very strong thing in it that could teach what is going on. Reading the Book would be better, because much can be lost in the making of the movie...
The mini-series of DUNE would be good...
The tv show (the new) Battlestar Galactica is another one. The cylons in this series is a religious fanatic order... (my one chargrin is that they put down the Monotheistic Model).
Good luck..

Although it's primarily relegated to the subplot involving her religious zealot mother in the movie, I'd suggest CARRIE.

"Frailty", Bill Paxton and his two sons murder people because supposedly, God gave him a list of people who he said were demons. Great movie!
