It isn't. It's just that we have a special word for muslim theocracy in a way we don't have for jewish theocratic rule. "Islamism" is not "Islam" in the same way that your average protestant isn't a dominionist.
The irony of the usage of the term is not that it doesn't describe a real political tendency (It does), but that it tends to be used by the west most when the American government is in the throes of dominionists. Christian Nationalism, Dominion Theology, Seven Mountains Theology, Christian Reconstructionism, and to an extent political Mormonism are all roughly equivalent to Islamism and all of them have had a large amount of sway on the republican party and its governing the last 30 years.
Correcting myself here to say that Christian Reconstructionism is probably closer to Salafism but that gets conflated with Islamism anyway.
