A former NHS doctor and contestant on The Apprentice has been stuck off over a series of antisemitic, racist and sexist social media comments.
Dr Asif Munaf, 37, appeared in the 2024 BBC series before being axed from a spin-off after a string of complaints about his conduct.
He failed to appear before a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) misconduct hearing, which heard details of the charges against him.
Munaf – who also uses the name Mohammed – reposted comments on X, formerly Twitter, which claimed Israel had “forfeited any right to exist”, was a “Nazi state” and that Zionists are not Jews but “today’s Nazis”, together with an image of a red flag with the Star of David above a swastika.
Other posts claimed that Jews “have no limits to their depravity” are “sick in the head” and are “born with an inherent ability to deceive”.
One post, in June 2025, read: “9/11 wasn’t an inside job. Let’s call it for what it really is. A Jewish job.”
There were further comments about an “inherent Jewish supremacy”, the Jewish “victim complex” and Jews having “a genocidal impulse”.
One sickening comment read: “Does the obsession with baking and ovens explain the uncontested and unproven claims of 6 million Jews and 40 beheaded babies in ovens?”
The doctor’s posts and reposts, dating from 2023 to 2025, also included a racist slur to describe ex-world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather and claimed he had been in contact with Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
Further comments were aimed at women, saying most men “cannot tell the difference between an asset and a liability” and this was reason why many were “broke and miserable”.
Women, “should not be pilots”, the doctor claimed, and he commented: “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 GMC, said the posts were “objectively antisemitic and/or seriously offensive, and motivated by racial or religious hostility and/or prejudice”.
They were also “racist” and “objectively sexist”, she added.
The tribunal heard that Munaf, who was handed an interim suspension in May 2025, had chosen not to attend the hearing or provide any witness statements.
But he did not dispute posting or reposting the comments when he attended a previous interim orders tribunal (IOT) hearing, Ms Tighe said.
Although he had denied they were antisemitic, she said, he had admitted they were “not befitting of someone as educated as myself” and said “in the heat of the emotion”.
The doctor failed to comply with conditions placed on his registration in August 2024 not to “abuse, discriminate against, bully, harass or deliberately target any individual or group” when expressing his beliefs on social media.
And the tribunal found there were 36 occasions when he posted content which was objectively antisemitic, racist, sexist, seriously offensive and/or motivated by racial or religious hostility and/or prejudice.
Further charges were also found proved.
Munaf was booked to provide locum services as a cardiology specialist registrar at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in January 2024 but “acted inappropriately” by vanishing just hours into the role.
He also provided a sick note to a patient in November 2024, while suspended.
The tribunal found that the public would be concerned about his conduct and that he “posed a current and ongoing risk to the health, safety and wellbeing of the public” and he’s now been erased from the medical register.
Munaf set up the online service Dr Sick Ltd in 2024 which claims to “beat the GP wait” and provide sick notes “in as little as two hours”.
Without any face-to-face or phone consultation, it was reported, the company sold sick notes enabling customers five months off work for Covid, six weeks for anxiety over a sick pet, and four weeks of home working to enable them to go on holiday abroad.
Munaf also ran the now defunct University of Masculinity website which was criticised for its controversial postings and retweeting of posts by Andrew Tate.
Munaf was fired from The Apprentice in week seven of the 2024 series after his team lost a task.
But when his social media posts came to light the Board of Deputies of British Jews complained to the BBC about his “despicable antisemitism”.
He was then pulled from the spin-off show You’re Fired, which normally features the candidate axed from the business contest each week.
In January 2024, shortly before the series started, Munaf said in a statement: "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 had used "ill-judged & emotional language”.
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.”
