I think it’s despicable that Trump has blamed Sadiq Khan for terrorism.

I know, but in idiotically and ignorantly blaming Khan directly, Trump still actually got closer to the truth than the hordes of denialists and obscurantists incapable of even acknowledging the links between migration and Islamic terrorism.

The point being, Trump is terrible in may ways, but he's still ultimately on the right side on this issue.

No, he isn't. The overwhelming majority of the world, including the Muslim world, is on the same side, it is only a tiny minority that actually support terrorism. None of the things you have listed are drivers for terrorism and the cost of associating a publicly elected official who happens to be a Muslim based on so little evidence leads only to more divisiveness between communities which hardly helps the situation.

What he said was daft and unhelpful and puts him on the wrong 'side'.

When you say a "tiny minority" what kind of numbers are we talking?

Because all reputable polling of recent years, while certainly showing a majority of Muslims are strongly against terrorism, still shows that millions upon millions of Muslims across the world (including in the West) condone or support it, e.g.

A YouGov survey published two weeks after the July 2005 bombings in the London Underground, showed that 6% of UK muslims (about 100,000 individuals) fully supported them, and one British Muslim in four expressed some sympathy with the motives of the bombers.

You're good at throwing these bombs. Less good at what I have had occasion to call "debate." *I would express some sympathy for the motives of the bombers. That is, to escape oppression, poverty, etc. It's these silly surveys you quote which give you the answers you're always seeking.
