They were also “racist” and “objectively sexist”
A former contestant on The Apprentice has been struck off the medical register over a series of antisemitic, racist and sexist social media posts.
Dr Asif Munaf appeared on the show’s 2024 series before being removed from the spin-off after complaints about his conduct.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard Dr Munaf, who also uses the name Mohammed, reposted extremist content on X.
Posts claimed Israel had “forfeited any right to exist”, was a “Nazi state”, and that Zionists were “today’s Nazis”, alongside a swastika image.
Other reposts claimed Jews “have no limits to their depravity”, are “sick in the head”, and are “born with an inherent ability to deceive”.
One post from June 2025 stated: “9/11 wasn’t an inside job. Let’s call it for what it really is. A Jewish job.”
Further comments referred to an “inherent Jewish supremacy”, a Jewish “victim complex”, and Jews having a “genocidal impulse”.
Another post referenced the Holocaust and bakeries, asking:
“Does the obsession with baking and ovens explain the uncontested and unproven claims of 6 million Jews and 40 beheaded babies in ovens?”
Striking him off, the tribunal said his behaviour showed an “arrogant disregard for patients and colleagues” and a “deep-seated and ongoing attitudinal issue”.
The panel also considered racist language about boxer Floyd Mayweather and claims Dr Munaf contacted Israel Defence Forces.
Sexist posts targeted women, claiming they are “broke and miserable” and most men “cannot tell the difference between an asset and a liability”.
He also stated women “should not be pilots” and wrote:
“Female ‘empowerment’ is one of the great tricks of Satan. Islam gives us the blueprint. When will the world wake up?”
Harriet Tighe, for the General Medical Council, said the posts were “objectively antisemitic and/or seriously offensive”.
They were also “racist” and “objectively sexist”, and motivated by hostility or prejudice.
Dr Munaf did not attend the hearing or submit witness statements.
Ms Tighe said he previously accepted posting the material but denied it was antisemitic, calling it “not befitting of someone as educated as myself”.
He said the posts were made “in the heat of the emotion”.
The panel found he breached conditions imposed in August 2024 not to abuse or target individuals or groups online.
It identified 36 instances of content that was antisemitic, racist, sexist, or seriously offensive.
Additional charges were also proven.
Dr Munaf was due to work as a locum cardiology registrar at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire in January 2024.
The tribunal found he “acted inappropriately” by leaving just hours into the placement.
He also issued a sick note to a patient in November 2024 while suspended from practice.
The panel concluded he posed “a current and ongoing risk” to public safety and erased him from the medical register.
Dr Munaf founded Dr Sick Ltd in 2024, advertising rapid sick notes without consultations.
Reports said it sold extended leave for Covid, anxiety over a sick pet, and home working to enable holidays.
He also ran the now-defunct University of Masculinity website, criticised for controversial posts and retweeting Andrew Tate.
Dr Munaf was fired from The Apprentice in week seven after losing a task.
After his posts emerged, the Board of Deputies of British Jews complained to the BBC about his “despicable antisemitism”.
He was then removed from the spin-off show You’re Fired.
In January 2024, he said: “I apologise for any offence caused by my online content/social media.
“It was not my intention to offend anyone, and I am of course open to all views. The beliefs I hold and have shared are based on the values that I was brought up with.”
In a separate statement on X, he said he used “ill-judged and emotional language”.
MPTS chairwoman Kate Kirwin said the conduct was “sustained and repeated”, continuing after regulatory intervention.
Ms Kirwin said Dr Munaf showed “a complete disregard and a lack of respect” for the regulator’s role.
The panel also ruled he acted “unprofessionally and without any apparent care for patients” during the locum role.
Ms Kirwin said: “All of these behaviours indicate an arrogant disregard for patients and colleagues, the views of others and the regulator.
“Such behaviour, individually and taken as a whole, is unbefitting of a registered doctor.
“The tribunal considered that there was no evidence of insight or reflection.
“The seriousness of the facts found proven mean continued registration would undermine public confidence.”
A GMC spokesperson said: “There is no place for antisemitism, sexism or misogyny in medicine, and we will always seek to strike off doctors for such conduct.”
