The semicolon is only problem number one.
Problem number two: The person who made this clearly doesn't realize that green-background-with-white-sans-serif-type appears to be the official design of Muslim-oriented bumper stickers.
In fact, when I first saw the "turn right" sticker, I thought it was yet another message about Allah, until I actually read it. (From this, you can tell I frequent a part of the Twin Cities where there are a lot of Somalian immigrants.) Clearly, green is a symbolically significant color in Islam.
But whoever wrote it definitely deserves a few points for cleverness.
