   A Texas man is standing defiant after he claims he was told by   
   his apartment complex that  he had to remove an American flag   
   from his balcony because it was a “threat towards the Muslim   
   community.”   
      
   Duy Tran told KHOU that he has friends who died for the country,   
   so he decided to hang one from his balcony after moving into a   
   new apartment in Webster, Texas. However, he said that soon   
   after he hung the flag, he was told by his apartment complex   
   manager he had to remove it.   
      
   "What really stunned me is that she said it’s a threat towards   
   the Muslim community,” Tran told the station. “I’m not a threat   
   toward nobody."   
      
   In a statement to KHOU, the manager for Tran’s apartment   
   complex, the Lodge at El Dorado, said she appreciates residents’   
   patriotism but displays must conform to community guidelines.   
      
   “Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment   
   community and provide for the safety of all residents,” the   
   statement said. “The apartment community already proudly   
   displays our country's flag in a safe and appropriate manner at   
   the entrances to our community.”   
      
   Tran told KHOU he has no plans to remove his flag.   
      
   "I’m gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows   
   me proof that I don’t have the right to leave my flag there," he   
   said.
