The issue is that's not really an argument against Islamism being a valid term, it's just saying that it gets weaponized by Islamophobes.
I also think it's strange to say that "jihad" is not ideologically distinct from the generic concept of "struggle" because the word can be translated to "struggle". That's not how language works either, it's a specific term with theological meaning. It would likewise be totally valid to use, to pick an arbitrary, the Mandarin word for "struggle" to connote the meaning of the term as Mao used it (which is not entirely different from jihad but clearly distinct from the generic term "struggle").
