yeah the joke is mostly "haha he does a funny voice" and "lol hes made of bones and freaked out about it"
i guess the point is the character actually being a muslim terrorist is barely part of the joke. he just needed a persona that screams "this is a Bad Guy" and that's what came to mind for americans back then. if he was making the same character in 2023 it would be Andrei the Dead Russian

Eh it's a bit skeevy but not the single most islamophobic thing you've ever seen, it was actually pretty tame all things considered.
