Do French hate Muslims?

You should note that when international politics and diplomacy are involved, there are no real friends but different countries with common or diverging interests that more often than not, end up in 'friendly rivalries', contempt or even outright war.

With that in mind, France is one of the closest business parters of Mexico, and there are plenty of cultural ties to talk about. Recently however, diplomatic relations among both countries have suffered due to disagreements over justice issues, such as the case of Florence Cassez, a young French woman jailed in Mexico from 2005 to 2013 for alleged participation in a kidnapping gang run by her Mexican boyfriend. Another one is the case of former governor Arturo Montiel, who failed to return his three young children to his ex-wife in France following a vacation in Mexico. Maude Versini, the kids' mother, is beseeching the French government to intercede on her behalf, further damaging the relations between both countries.

Now, on general terms, neither French nor Mexican people have ill will against each other, mainly due to most pressing matters, such as Mexico's standing issues with its northern neighbor (the United States), or France's own issues with its immediate neighbors and illegal immigrants pouring into its own soil.
