IGP to act on jihad call, yes?

I refer to your report 'Umno delegates call for jihad against the 'evil' PAS' (June 22), partially quoted here: "Opposition party PAS came under fire at the Umno annual general meeting (AGM) today as delegates called for a jihad (holy war) against the former for behaving like Jews in destroying the Islamic race."
Yan Umno division head Badaruddin Amirudin said PAS was acting in accordance with Jewish principles by telling lies, dishing baseless accusations to destroy Islam and causing a split among the Malays.
He added that PAS was also manipulating the Malays with deviated religious teachings while spreading envy and hatred amongst the community. He called on Umno to declare a jihad against the party.
I imagine that the IGP will be quickly arresting the Umno delegates concerned under the Internal Security Act since although they did not mention using rocket launchers, molotov cocktails and grenades in the proposed jihad they must surely pose a real threat to national security.
