Two things bothered me about this story.

One was his bowing, thrown in with the President’s bowing, one has to ask what the heck is going on with all this bowing, and why now, to Islam?

The other was that the writer implied that everyone bows to the Catholic Pope, I can see Catholics and Europeans doing that, but do Americans, would Reagan, or Rick Perry, or Billy Graham, or the squirrel hunting guy on the Walking Dead bow, to anyone?

You’re right...Why would a head of state or a head of a church bow to a raghead?

"I can see Catholics and Europeans doing that, but do Americans, would Reagan, or Rick Perry, or Billy Graham, or the squirrel hunting guy on the Walking Dead bow, to anyone?

Daryl Dixon bows to no man.

Seriously, remember the angel in Revelation 19, and again in 22. John fell at his feet, and he told John to get up, that he (the angel) was only his brethren and fellow servant.

“but do Americans”

An American citizen is a sovereign individual and bows to
no one but god. A pope, priest, dictator, king, queen, etc.
is no better than any American citizen and deserve no more
than a handshake if the citizens so wishes.
