<The ex-President of Iran said that on the whole, it would be a good thing for Muslims in general if an Islamic country developed nuclear weapons and nuked Israel. >

IMHO there are 2 components to this equation :
1. The capability (possessing the weapons)
2. the intent to use them as an offensive measure.

example : India & Pakistan both have nukes, but not the intent to use offensively against each other. Israel has nukes, but it is highly unlikely that Israel has the intent to use offensively either. The chances of Pakistan (a muslim country) using nukes on Israel offensively are equally remote.
