I wouldn't call that a hole, considering that between 85% to 93% of muslims voted for Hollande (depending on which polls you prefer to take), the current president of France. It makes even more sense if you remember that these laws were mostly supported by the previous government. Charlie Hebdo is certainly a leftist satirical magazine, but you should know that polls showed around 47% of the population considered it should not have published of Mohammad cartoons - even AFTER it was firebombed, death threat were issued and several arrested. In the end, this is IMHO a good move by Hollande in realpolitik : show to those who care about you that you care about them too. Even better if you can claim it's about "increasing tolerance".
