The radical group Ansar-e Hezbollah pledged to Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that it would root out the “virus” of mal-veiled women.

The ultra-Islamist group which is fiercely loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote in its weekly journal that the “virus of mal-veiling and lack of faith” inside the country was more dangerous than the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

The group warned that cultural invasion was a far greater threat than a military invasion of Islamic nations.
