For Muslims Christians and Jews.?
Considering that the Hindu religion pre-dates Judaism by about 1000 years, is it not far more likely to be correct that Judaism. And since Judaism is the foundation of Christianity and Islam it would them follow that the Hindu religion is far more likely to be correct than Christianity or Islam.
So, will you be ignoring this fact? Or will you become Hindu?

No, they are not ignoring the fact nor will they become Hindu. The Hindus must feel lucky and obliged that they spared them and allowed the "Devil Worshipers" or the "Kafirs" to exist.
Well polytheist religions were present through out the world. Its only that the Indians (whose religion the arabs gave the word as 'Hindu') were lucky to survive the sword of the "peaceful and tolerant" Christianity and Islam. In Europe and America's it was Christians who burnt all the pagans alive and destroyed their cultures, while in Arab world it were the Muslims.
The most popular religions we have today are not because how correct they are but because how intolerant and brutal they have been in destroying other faiths. They systematically wiped out all competition and are now testing each other for Religious Supremacy.

If something is older, it is necessarily more correct. So your reasoning doesn't equate as fact in the first place. For instance, are all people older than you more correct in everything than you are?
The Christian God is more likely to be the one true God because He has proven Himself to be God. When you compare the prophecies in the Old Testament part of the Bible with their fulfillment, then you have to realize that a real God was working through the prophets He had chosen. The Hindu religion is full of stories and gods, but it lacks much in the way of proofs.

This is how I see it: Throughout the history of man, there has been a tendancy for religions to be altered by man. Originally, all religion was started by God....hence the common themes. Adam was the first man, and God taught Adam the true religion, and gave him the power of the priesthood (God's authority) to be handed down to further generations. Hindusim could easily have been the original true religion, altered beyond recognition.
Judaism was one of God's efforts to restore the truth to man, and to adapt religion to a people who were so stiff-necked and inclined to idol worship that they needed many strict rules.
Jesus also brought God's truth to man, restoring lost powers of the priesthood, and teaching a more advanced form of God's laws.
This kind of restoration has happened throughout the history of man. I respect Hinduism, and the many truths contained therein. I am not ignoring this fact - the point is that length of time as a religion does not mean truth. To me, the longer a religion has existed, the more likely it is to have been corrupted. God still speaks today....and his words are pure and true.

Being old doesn't mean that it's right, i'm not an expert on hinduism, but i think it's a polytheistic faith, and that goes against my convictions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam came from the same source.

I do not ignore this 'fact' although I do not take it at your word. However. God himself created Judaism because other gods were being created and he searched and found a man who pleased him and he knew would follow him. Therefore Judaism would not have been necessary if there were no other religions already in existence.

Age of a 'religion' is an nearly irrelevant fact.
Christianity (supposedly in USA) follows Christ presently, and Judaism follows the Lord (Jesus Christ) (not as obviously) to man.

You're assuming that this makes you more valid. I question the premise. What happens if man fell into delusion and God restored it with divine revelation? You'll need more than "I'm older" to make it stick. You need a way to give that force, but you don't seem to have it.

I will answer you the fact
when you want to prove matter you should geve evidence
take this
God has said in the Quran:
“Or (the unbelievers’ state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darknesses, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it....” (Quran 24:40)
This verse mentions the darkness found in deep seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light (see figure 1). Below a depth of 1000 meters there is no light at all.[1] Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters without the aid of submarines or special equipment. Human beings cannot survive unaided in the deep dark part of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters
Scientists have recently discovered this darkness by means of special equipment and submarines that have enabled them to dive into the depths of the oceans.
We can also understand from the following sentences in the previous verse, “...in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds....”, that the deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by waves, and above these waves are other waves. It is clear that the second set of waves are the surface waves that we see, because the verse mentions that above the second waves there are clouds. But what about the first waves? Scientists have recently discovered that there are internal waves which “occur on density interfaces between layers of different densities.”[2] (see figure
The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because the deep waters have a higher density than the waters above them. Internal waves act like surface waves. They can also break, just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be seen by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature or salinity changes at a given location

-Paganism also predates Judaism,it is not the matter of which predates which,it is about which religions were really revealed by God and which wasn't ,according to the Quran Judaism and Christianity were true and revealed by God (not Hinduism) that's why i believe they were true religions.
-And from where did you come with this strange logic,"the religion which comes first is more likely to be true??!!!!!!!",what about ancient Roman gods?!and what about idolatry?!.....think again.
