Some Muslim Reactions to Ahmadinejad Call to Wipe Out Israel

The reaction of the Muslim press has been mixed:

The Iranian president's call for Israel to be "wiped off the map" has received a sympathetic ear in some Arabic papers, which say it was a justified device to focus attention on the Palestinians' plight.
Others however believe the remarks were ill-advised and counter-productive.

Some of the editorials are frightening in their misrepresentations and dogmatism in blatant support of Ahmadinejad. Others are more balanced. [thanks to Jack for the pointer]
