There are governments ran by Christianity in the same way.
It has nothing to do with any sort "superiority" of Christianity and it's not unique to Islam
Also, calling one religion "superior" is highly ethnocentric

Throughout history and the world, you will find that nations founded on Christian principles (example, the US of course) are the ones with the greatest prosperity and freedom by far. It speaks to the superiority of Christianity as no other religion brings so much freedom, and the greatest freedom of all- freedom from the bondage of sin. In Christ, we have true freedom, as we are free from the curse of death.
That said, the United States is not a Christian nation. Not in its philosophy, what it does, or what it loves. While it has Judeo-Christian roots, the United States we live in today is a pagan nation that follows other gods. The philosophy of the United States as it is today is not compatible with Christianity, but we have the greatest freedom in this country compared to others thanks in part to its roots.
One thing to keep in mind is that there is no such thing as a perfect government on this Earth. All governments are twisted or corrupt in one way or another due to sin. All governments are oppressive. But the United States has fared far better than others, and it's not simply by luck or turns of events.

Christianity is finally superior because it is the only religion that has a risen savior. Christ was the perfect and spotless sacrifice in our place for our sins, and thanks to Him, you are guaranteed eternal life if you trust Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Now that's something to rejoice about!

Ethnicity has nothing to do with the superiority of Christianity. Brothers and Sisters in Christ are one not because they have a specific skin color, but because Christ unites all who follow Him in love.

That's incredibly idealistic and only pertains to your point of view.
Are you honestly saying that this "freedom from death" is one of the roots that caused the United States to be created with personal freedom in mind?

The US is not founded on Christian principles.
The Founding Fathers were probably religious (I think most of them were Deist but I'm unsure) but they specifically made the Constitution secular.

A lot of them wrote about the necessity of religion in order for a people to be morally self regulating and educated though. I can't think of any specific writings, but I know guys like Webster were super religious, and even Franklin admitted that religion was good for the people of a nation.

The Founding Fathers were more into personal religion than a unified, clerical religion such as the Catholic Church.

Of course, they just put their hope into that religion and solid education (look at new england) would enable the population to be educated and self regulating. They didn't create an organized religion because that would go against the idea of individual freedom. To call the United States as founded on religious principles would be a stretch, but it was still seen as beneficial and important in the eyes of the founders.
