In the US, the cops would think that you are also a cop, which means no tickets.

Once you get outside English speaking areas people probably wouldn't associate your registration plate with the animal in question.
As for Clarkson, taking a well known TV show with full crew through Argentina showing a numberplate H982 FKL (1982 Falklands) was never going to end well, and he got what he'd been asking for.
That said I'd go with the other guys, if it makes you feel uneasy you won't enjoy the journey, so change it.

I don't know a thing about the religion, however I have seen how situations can become heated rather quickly in some countries, I don't wish that to happen.
Thank you to all that replied, I am currently in the process of selling everything and hoping to get away either just before or just after Xmas.

Good on you for asking the question, even if it resulted in some heated moral discussion!
I think it's fair enough to want to check whether you're being sensitive/insensitive even if others with more experience in that area might find it a silly question. Hopefully you got the answer you needed.
Best of luck on your journey and I hope you're well received wherever you go, number plate or not.
By the way, could you sell it for a few extra trip dollars? Might be good to advertise it on ADVRider or one of the ADV Facebook groups if so.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
