Gummi Bears, prejudice against Muslims? Just noticed something...

(1/4) > >>

I was a little kid in the 80's... and one of the most popular cartoons was Gummi Bears.  This show was set in the middle ages time period, with draw bridges, and castles and war weapons from that era.  The show definitely takes inspiration from the Crusades era of European History.  All the good guys, the Gummi Bears are like the Romans in the show, in their talk, dress, etc. 

And their enemy is this evil bad guy named Ethmad (kind of sounds like Ahmed) or something like that, who is the leader of the bad guys in the show.  His features could be described as either Turkish (because of his mustache, the Turks were Christian crusaders fiercest foes from 1400 to 1900) or Arab (from the looks of his large, round, Arab nose, Arab Muslims were Christendoms fiercest foe from 700-1400), and he has an Islamic looking beard as well.  He exacts complete totalitarian rule over his henchmen, and rules by fear.

...you all may laugh at this stuff and say I'm making a big deal about nothing, but the things we see, hear, and love as a child heavily influence a world view that often stays with us for the rest of our life.

es-jay:
wow, just wow. do you have any pictures of the Gummi bear in question?
