Sociologists are ever vigilant for WMD - Weber, Marx, and Durkheim. A recent search of Iraqi sociology departments has revealed that they have no WMD.
Only Allah.

Hi William,
It is not only a joke, it is also a very clever remark. Neither of them (Weber, Marx or Durkheim) came about by means of divine revelation. Their intellectual achievments were possible as a result of a long and hard intellectual development within the western civilization. Unfortunately, that kind of development didn´t took place in the islamic world, so, as you rightly point out, they have only Allah.
Sincrelely,
