I think it's less probable that someone like Gaiman would have been okay positioning himself as censorious, is the real change. (But then I think a lot of the terminology we use here is confused - I should probably make a post on this some time.)
He's probably both not-a-fan of Islam and drawn to it in the way the main character is - like many European and especially French reactionaries he's nostalgic for open theocratic rule while not being able to believe himself. (Or at least that's the impression I get from book reviews and from earlier readings of his work, I haven't read Sousmission.)
