Photo: Getty ImagesA plan to have a Muslim cleric say a prayer at an Anzac Day service has to been cancelled after the local RSA received a number of “threats”. The Returned and Services Association (RSA) branch at Titahi Bay near Wellington wanted to honour the victims of the Christchurch terror attack, in which 50 people died on March 15, by including a Muslim prayer in their service. The ordeal was making Strombom think Anzac day as a whole needed a rethink. “This week it is the stomping on the graves of our war heroes through the Titahi Bay RSA decision that will only be the beginning of what is to come when dealing with our Nation’s Identity Crisis."
