Listen. The man will not bow. That's it. A blind man won't see, and a deaf one won't hear. A religious Muslim will not bow. I fail to understand how that will affect both his training and the training of his partners. Or the respectful atmosphere of the dojo.
It's oh so easy...

Being Muslim isn't a handi-cap.
But I agree he will never bow. However, to join any organization is an acknowledgment of that organization's rules, procedures and by-laws. Being a Muslim is an acknowledgment to Muhammad's law. And choosing to become a member of a dojo is a choice to adhere to that organization's procedures.
In that respect I find the situation complicated.
