Remove that prophet from his name please

Draslo:
People will just wake up one morning and declare themselves prophets. Sadly, people will flock to worship them. Many Nigerians worship their pastors/prophets and Imams rather than God.

Karlovic:
How is he a prophet? A lot of criminals hide under the guise of religion to commit all sorts of atrocities, jail the idiot.
