Do they have "asma Allah" bumper stickers? The will of Allah which actually has legal precedent in their courts.

Heh. Didn't see any bumper stickers. Was too busy jumping out of the way usually.

What does 'asma Allah' mean? I know the standard phrases, and I used to know a bit more Farsi and arabic, but now it's just limited to 'humdillah', 'inshalla' and stuff like that...

It means "Will of Allah". If they hit you then it was meant to happen. The deeply faithful would put it and would drive as if they fully believed it. Trucks in Turkey had it on their bumpers alot and it basically meant that anyone with that on their bumper had right of way. That was a couple of decades ago but I havent heard that it changed any.
