I once went past a car with a license plate saying "DR WHO". Took a picture but it didn't turn out. 
License plate and bumper sticker wins and fails

Yes of course. I have a SAF sticker on my car as well. As well a replica of a sticker that was once on my friends USMC Humvee. But there is a huge difference between being proud of your service and showing off in the manner he does. Most military personnel see their service as an honor or even duty, not a way to gain fame.
Btw, that guy should be given a ticket. I don't know what the laws in New York are, but on this side of the pond covering the lights of your cars is a big "No-No".
I saw a bumper sticker once that said this:
Women don't Belch, Snore or Fart
That's why they must bitch, or they will Blow Up!
The first part is true, the second is a fail.

FAIL: On the back of the same vehicle--the ubiquitous COEXIST bumper sticker, and then this sticker. Bit of a mixed message here...looks like a Coexist Fail when it comes to the Hindu religion...
Don't really see much of a fail, or even a whole lot of funny irony here. I've coexisted just fine with plenty of hindus, and their hinduism hasn't stopped me from ordering a hamburger for lunch.
My intolerance?! Look, I'll openly admit I've got intolerance for a lot of things when it comes to other people mostly because I think other people are morons, but when it comes to religious beliefs or things of gender or national origin beliefs you'll find that I'm very tolerant. I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or whatever. I don't care what you are but you do your thing and I'll do mine.
If I go out to eat with someone who is Hindu and they ask to not go to a place that serves beef or when we go there they ask that I not order beef that's fine, I'll do that out of respect for them. But, honestly, their beliefs end where I begin.
My hole point is that those two bumper stickers being displayed on the same car is not a contradiction. It's possible to both think it's okay for someone to have a Hindu belief and support the beef industry. The two do not cancel one another out.
What? To show that I support Hindu people I've got to quit my job where working with beef is a major part of it? There used to be a Hindu woman who worked in our kitchen area was it offense of me to order a cheese burger from her? Was I dis-respecting her beliefs?
We shouldn't all have to tip-toe around each other to avoid possibly, maybe, making someone else offended, that kind of nonsense is why this world is going PC-mad. It's somehow offensive to have your own beliefs if they counter someone else's. Ergo, we should all act like blank slates walking around with no personal presentation of self. That kind of thinking allowed Don't Ask, Don't Tell run for too long and got it faced with a fair amount of opposition in its repeal.
I mean gosh, we might offend some close-minded Army guys when they have to experience the thought of other people!
I've no problem with Hindu people, it's part of their religion to not eat beef, great. Good for them. No problem with that.
I've no problem with Jewish people it's part of their religion to not eat pork if they're keeping kosher. Great. Good for them. I've got no problem with that.
But if my expressing that I do like to eat beef and pork is offensive to them then they are the ones with the problem because they're allowing someone else's belief effect them. When it really shouldn't. Be who you are and realize others have different opinions and do not allow their differing opinions to impact you.
My (theoretical) showing support of all religions through a bumper sticker while also showing support for the beef industry is not a contradiction and shouldn't be construed as offensive any more than it would be if it showed support for Pork council or if there was a Jesus-fish on the car. It would be a contradiction if it made a judgment on people who don't eat beef.
But in the OP case? No contradiction. Nor do I have any, I don't care what religion you are or what it involves be who you are and don't push it on me. If we're having a meal and you prefer I not eat something I'll respect that but I'm not going to do it on my own volition simply because of your presence because I'm going to naturally assume you're a rational human being who realizes that my beliefs and practices has no impact on your own beliefs and practices.
If I was in Japan or Mexico or in some part of the world where dog, cat, horse or whatever westernly domesticated animal was consumed I'd have no problem with it, I understand other cultures operate differently than my own.
How does that respect them? If I go out to eat I order what I want. If they don't eat beef then they don't have to order it.
I dated a guy that wouldn't eat a pig, so I didn't cook pork when I cooked dinner. However he didn't care if I ate pork in front of him, I had bacon all the time.
I went to school with someone who was muslim, so for a month he wouldn't eat during the day. He sat across from me when I ate lunch. Am I supposed to skip lunch because he couldn't eat?
If he asked you not to eat him out of respect to him then, yeah, it's up to you on whether or not to honor that request. I, for one, would. But YMMV and I'd make no judgment on what your choice would be.
But to just to do it without prompting, I see no problem in that.

Yes, this is real.
That one might not pass screening in British Columbia.
I saw one about a year a go the read LB SAND

That's a state issued (i.e. not personalized) plate. In Missouri personalized plates have the registration sticker in the lower-left hand corner of the plate (since a personalized plate may have seven characters one of which would occupy the space in the middle where the standard plate sticker goes.) That number/letter format matches the current scheme they're using.
Took this back in January. Had no time to get a decent shot because the light had turned green just as we pulled up behind the car.
There's someone in CT with the same plate, I've passed them several times on the highway.
Personally I'm a fan of 'nuke the gay baby whales for Jesus.' Get 'em all with one stone.
Nice! At least they could have a sense of humor about it! 
Saw "2DMOON" on another Saturn V specialty plate. (no pic)
I've also seen countless "STS***" plates in the area.
I saw this one this morning:
The sticker in the lower left hand corner of the window is the Planet Express logo!
Strange thing when taking the pic was the inboard array of LED tail lights (inboard of the reverse lights) were flickering like crazy in my cameraphone display, but looked full-on to my eyes. They're showing off in the pic. The outboard ones were full-on in the display, but both arrays looked the same to my eyes. I didn't think LEDs flickered at all.

STD 101? Sounds like a very messed-up sex ed course.
They do. I know it's not normal to be able to see it with the naked eye, but if I look side to side with those kinds of taillights, I see the flickering and I literally have to look away when I'm driving at night and I'm behind a car with LED taillights. It's very, very disturbing.
What your cameraphone did FINALLY, FINALLY confirms that I am not crazy. It's just like how if you take a shot of a CRT monitor with a video camera, the screen flickers. I can see that too, unless the refresh rate is set very high.
