From Wolfgang's link...

"Teheran s'est efforce jeudi de minimiser la portee des propos d' Ahmadinejad. 'La politique de l' Iran vis-a-vis d'Israel restera inchangee. Nous ne voulons pas de confrontation avec l'Occident', a assure a Reuters un responsable iranien ayant requis l'anonymat.

'Ahmadinejad a exprime son souhait, mais cela ne signifie pas que l'Iran va prendre des mesures concretes pour detruite l'Etat d'Israel', a-t-il ajoute."

Anyway, I didn't say any of the Arab sources had condemned what Ahmadinejad said. That's your straw man argument, Wolfgang. I said they criticized Ahmadinejad's remarks. And I have already provided several examples of those criticisms.

But on the subject of straw man argumentations, it is a straw man argument to imply that such discussion is not taking place just because one has not seen it. And people are implying just that here in this thread.
