Yitay: I hadn’t seen R’ Ovadia. But why did the TZ”E bring it down anyway? I’m sure he knew the Rambam just like everyone else does. He doesn’t even mention the Rambam in his T’shuvah. That aside, the Ran’s reason has nothing to do with the Rambam’s. The Ran says that any religion involving bowing, even if it’s to one deity, is inherently Avodah Zarah.
