The Man on the White Horse

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

In the aftermath of the reunification of Germany, many Eastern Europeans including Russians resident in the former East Germany flocked to work in the factories in the former West Germany.  There, they met many of the Muslim immigrants, mainly of Kurdish extraction. 

Once, in an unnamed factory, a Russian approached a Kurd and asked if he was Muslim.  And the Kurd said he was.  And the Russian said he wanted to tell a story and he hoped the Kurd would listen.  During the break, he told this: 

“I was a soldier in the armies of the USSR sent to fight in Afghanistan.  I was a tanker man (meaning he was a tank crewman).  Once, we were sent to capture a pass in the mountains.  They were going to exterminate a village as an example.  We saw a man in white on a white horse blocking the pass.  He had a white turban and carried a sword.  No guns.  We laughed since a horseman had no chance against our tanks.  And then the horseman charged at us.  There was a wind behind him and the dust moved.  The machine gunners started firing.  But there was no effect.  The horse was running on air.  The tank in front exploded.  Then the wind came and there was chaos outside the tank.  There were screams and then there was silence.”
