Why don't Jews just convert to Islam? Both religions worship the same god. They both follow the same dietary laws. They both circumcise baby boys. I don't see there's that much difference.

Because they are Jewish not Islamic.
More than one religion does all you have described yet they have different beliefs and follow different written doctrine.

For the same reasons we don't convert to Christianity, the Baha'i faith, or Mandaeism.

Based on this logic, many sects in Christianity can be moved under Catholicism. Both believe in Christ and both believe in God then there are some ostensibly minor differences.

Jews aren't Muslim and similarities won't make them Islamic (hmmm, I think my mom just rolled over in the rose bushes I put her in after she passed away).

Can you name one religion besides Islam and Judaism that practice all of the above? I don't think they exist.

Well the Jews came first, so using your train of thought all Muslims should rightly convert to Judaism.

Problem solved.
