License Plate

black Mercedes in a restaurant parking lot: ALAHAKBR

Interesting, given the political climate. It's like "God is my co-pilot" with a jihadi ring.

Disclaimor: In case anyone chooses to take that last comment about jihad the wrong way, my comment is specifically on the statement that a person is seeking to make when he/she elects to have a customized license plate that not only expresses a Muslim belief, but does so on a vanity plate within the socio-political context of the US post-2001. So, while I'm cognizant of 1.) the innocence of the message as a statement of faith and 2.) the possibility that it is displayed specifically to challenge popular notions of Islam in the US, such only presupposes the popular connotations that I am pointing out.
