PETERSBURG - A Muslim civil rights organization is calling on Pinellas County school officials to investigate a threat it says was made against a sixth-grade Muslim girl at Azalea Middle School.</p> <p>The 11-year-old girl, Hannah, told reporters she's afraid to go to back to school after a boy pulled off her head scarf and the next day threatened to shoot and kill her.</p> <p>"I feel so afraid," she said.

Ahmed Bedier, executive director of CAIR's Tampa chapter, said the organization's primary concern is the safety of Hannah and all the other students at the school.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/31938-sixth-grade-muslim-girl-subject-of-shooting-threat-assualts">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/31937-sixth-grade-fl-student-says-she-is-scared-to-go-to-school 2008-12-05T10:56:55Z CAIR <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9nOvu8Nm-0w&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9nOvu8Nm-0w&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/31937-sixth-grade-fl-student-says-she-is-scared-to-go-to-school"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/34407" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on the Pinellas County School District to investigate a shooting threat and assaults made against a sixth-grade Muslim girl by a fellow student. </p> <p>11-year-old Hannah, a student at Azalea Middle School in St. Petersburg, said a male classmate tore off her head scarf and threatened to shoot her and that's she's been the victim of</p> </div> <a href="/blog/31937-sixth-grade-fl-student-says-she-is-scared-to-go-to-school">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/29158-sheriffs-deputy-dumps-paralyzed-man-from-wheelchair 2008-10-19T21:31:38Z Copwatchers <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX2nCT-cOU8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX2nCT-cOU8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/29158-sheriffs-deputy-dumps-paralyzed-man-from-wheelchair"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/31352" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/29158-sheriffs-deputy-dumps-paralyzed-man-from-wheelchair">Watch the video</a>
