Texas television station KCBD kicked up a cloud of anti-Muslim bigotry Tuesday night by sharing an alert from the National Weather Service on its Facebook page.
“Haboob northwest of Lubbock as seen from the Science Spectrum,” the NWS warned. “If you must drive west of Lubbock, plan for near-zero visibility in blowing dust and strong winds of 50+ mph.”
Although haboobs are more commonly known as “dust storms,” a NWS meteorologist said the Arabic word refers to a particular weather phenomenon.
A haboob refers specifically to a wall of dust created by cool, dense air blowing away from a thunderstorm or along a cold front, said meteorologist Jerome James.
But it signaled something even more threatening to some of the station’s Facebook fans.
“Never had a haboob until we got that muslim boob for potus,” said viewer Jeff Bertrand, referring to President Barack Obama, who is believed by some of this critics to secretly be a Muslim.
Meteorologists have used the word “haboob” since at least the 1950s, James said.
He said dry conditions in Texas had made the phenomenon, with its distinctive brown skies, more common in recent years.
The English language uses many words with Arabic origins, including cotton, algebra, candy, lemon, alcohol, and sofa.

Only in Texas 🙂 I guess with groups like ‘Repent Amarillo’, and others like them popping up in the Texas
panhandle it’s only natural. Just like the haboob.
It’s embarrassing reading some of the comments by Islamophobes. They must also from now on abandon (not use) the word ‘Alcohol’ and many more Arabic words.
🙂 Could you imagine that… how boring the English language would be if they stopped using the many words that were taken or derived from Arabic language. lol
This burn’s me up How can they say those things and then in the next sentence try to say something productive. They sound ignorant and uneducated.
These bigots are ignorant and uneducated for sure!
