Texas Man Ordered to Take Down American Flag Because it Offends Muslims A Texas man is speaking out after he was told that he was no longer allowed to fly the American flag on his own balcony because it was perceived as a threat to [the] Muslim community. According to Duy Tran, his apartment manager ordered him to take the flag down. Tran did not take the request lightly. It means a lot to me, he told reporters. He is now refusing to take the American symbol down. Im gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I dont have the right to leave my flag there, Tran continued. To Tran, the flag represents his many friends who have served and died for America. The flag, to him, is a symbol of his pride for our country. What do you think? Should Tran be allowed to show his American spirit?
