Islam is a religion for which the house of worship is a mosque. Islamism, however, is something else. It is a political ideology whose goal is to bring the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. As a political movement, it has no place of worship, but since all Islamists are Muslims, they will pray as Muslims in mosques.
Islamism is a modern movement whose roots began contemporaneously with the rise of Salafism in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Egypt. Islamism is not by nature violent or expansive. Many Islamist movements have concrete nationalistic goals such as the Islamists in power in Turkey. Islamism is not invented by Westerners to defame Islam, it is a term by which these politically oriented individuals call themselves. The Arabic words for Muslim and Islam are Moslem (مسلم) and Eslaam (إسلام) while the Arabic words for Islamist and Islamism are Eslaami (إسلامي) and Eslaamawiyya (أشلاموية) Since Islamism (as opposed to Islam) is a form of authoritarianism, it is proper to oppose it in pursuit of liberal democracy.

Where is a place to worship in the religion of Islamism?
Islamism is not a religion; it is a political ideology whose goal is to bring the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. As such, it has no place of worship (just like Nationalism and Socialism do not have places of worship). If by Islamism, you meant to write Islam, the place of worship in Islam is a Mosque which is Masjid in Arabic. Occasionally, there are very large Mosques (like the Catholic idea of a Cathedral) which are called Jame'a in Arabic. It may be useful to add to the above that; per Islam teachings; one may practice ritual worship of praying in any clean place as at home, office, stadium, open air areas, ... etc; and not necessarily to be in the mosque (or Masjid); although it is preferred to be in the mosque or the masjid..
