Who is Ibrahim Tolkaze from Red Storm Rising and what is their importance?

Ibrahim Tolkaze leads the Muslims into the oil refinery at Nishnevartovsk, and his group kills all the employees who try to stop their attack. Ibrahim Tolkaze personally opens valves and sets fire to the oil wells. Just as he prepares to do the monumental damage to the oil field, he stops to read a passage from his most treasured possession - half of his grandfather's Koran.
