‘Haboob’ Hubbub: Arizonans Protest Common Meteorological Term As Evidence Of Muslim Infiltration

English is a language that lures other languages down dark alleys, mugs them for loan words, then rifles their pockets for loose syntax.

Haboob is the term for a thick dust storm. A ghibli or sirocco is a sand storm with hurricane force winds. These bigots need to learn to deal.

Anyway, Afghan vets are more likely to refer to a dust storm as a Khamsin, the Pashto term for a violent sand/dust storm
