A head of state retweeting a racist group is not the same as foreign policy, no matter how bad or hypocritical that is.
If Trump wants to comment on internal UK politics by retweeting a hate group, the government of the UK should absolutely respond.
And yes the US has far, far more victims of Islamic terror than the UK does thanks to their lack of gun controls. Unless you feel Trump is right and that the UK does have a serious problem?
Where did I even slightly suggest Trump was right?
Asking if you believe the US has a more serious problem does not automatically equate to saying that the UK has the worse problem. In my opinion it is not much of a problem in either country when compared to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Most of the “Muslim problem” is just a right wing excuse to bash brown people, places like The Sun and the Daily Mail are basically ISIS propaganda tools at the moment.
US gun laws are a problem no matter the religion of the shooter.
