The white-robed horseman was a vision of the Twelfth Imam, Muhammed al-Mahdi, who died, or vanished, at age five in the ninth century. The Twelfth, or Invisible, Imam is prophesied to return in times of extreme ruin to lead the faithful to paradise.

I predict if he rides in an a horse against today's military weaponry, he's in for a severe ass whuppin'.

About the only thing he will be able to do is take all his minions to paradise.

Besides, the so-called "Twelvers" are nuts. Everybody knows that the "Seventh Imam" is the true Mahdi.

He may indeed take the islamic nations to paradise - the one with the 72 virgins. If that happens, we should name a national holiday after him.
