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.
Only if the organization decides that bowing is mandatory - so, again, it is down to the dojocho to decide what constitutes unbreakable ettiquette.
