A doctor who flashed his charms on BBC’s The Apprentice is now on the brink of being struck off. Dr Mohammed Asif Munaf, aka Dr Asif Munaf, is under fire for posting vile antisemitic and sexist content online, including claims that “9/11 was an inside job carried out by the Jews” and that “female empowerment is one of the great tricks of Satan.”
Doctor’s dangerous rants spark GMC probe
Dr Munaf is embroiled in misconduct proceedings at the General Medical Council (GMC) after allegedly posting a string of hateful tweets on his X (formerly Twitter) account from October 2023 to July 2024. The doctor didn’t show up at the tribunal or hire legal help.
- He compared Jewish bakeries in North London to Holocaust denial nonsense, dismissing claims about the six million Jewish victims and horrific atrocities.
- Called Zionists a “godless satanic cult” that commands the media, military, and banking.
- Branded Israel a “Nazi state” and threw a racial slur at boxer Floyd Mayweather.
- Claimed women shouldn’t be pilots and derided female empowerment as a satanic trick, quoting “Islam gives us the blueprint.”
Defending the indefensible
Representing the GMC, lawyer Harriet Tighe read out the offensive posts, arguing they raise serious doubts over Dr Munaf’s fitness to practise medicine. The doctor has tried to shrug off the allegations, saying his remarks were “not befitting of someone as educated as myself and were said in the heat of the emotion.”
The GMC’s action highlights the severity of his alleged misconduct, which includes promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and demeaning women—red flags for a medical professional bound to care for all equally.

Dr Munaf’s no-show at the tribunal and lack of legal defence leave his future hanging by a thread as the GMC pushes for him to be struck off.
