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
Even setting the racism aside he always did that thing a lot of hack comedians did at the time where they raise their pitch a lot where the jokes are lol like it feels like it’s a vocal “please laugh” sign and it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me lol
Horribly unfunny puppet skit (CW racism and really lame humor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBvfiCdk-jc

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.
