APPRENTICE candidate Dr Asif Munaf is at the centre of a sexism storm after starting a service to find British Muslim men brides abroad.
He has been branded “vile” after suggesting there is too much feminism in the UK.
The former NHS doc launched University of Masculinity — Muslim Passport Bros to pair “professional brothers of the UK” with women in North Africa.
It emerged after he was accused a week ago of anti-Semitic comments online.
In the latest furore, he says in a video: “A lot of brothers have got sick of feminism in the West generally.
"Being in the corporate world as a woman all of your life, you are going to rub shoulders with a lot of men.

"That is osmosis — you are going to absorb a lot of masculine ideals in terms of competitiveness, being blunt — it is a real problem in the UK.”
Labour MP and leading women’s rights campaigner Jess Phillips slammed the BBC for recruiting Dr Asif for the new series.
She said: “This is a vile and sexist attitude that sees women as something that can be traded for servitude and subservience.
"There’s a word for that - slavery.
“The BBC should have done their due diligence, spotted this and barred him from the show.”
Dr Asif, 34, from Sheffield, made the comments in a video uploaded to YouTube in September as part of his Masculine Mastery series.
He said: ““We actually set up a service in the summer my friend and I.
"It is called the University of Masculinity — Muslim Passport Bros.
“We have to help vet a lot of sisters in Morocco and match them with appropriately aged guys in the UK, guys who are professionals.
“We match them with the correct ladies in Morocco.
"It is going well because there is a huge gap in what the women offer in the West and what the brothers want.”
Of women in the UK, he said: “You know women who have very high testosterone levels — corporate ‘boss babe’ mentality.
“Brothers are like, ‘Khalas [stop] I am done with this mentality, I am going to Morocco.’
“I have noticed that part of the world is probably one of the least prone to feminism at the moment because even in the Middle East I have seen remnants of feminism coming through.
"I saw it, I saw it.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “The beliefs I hold and have shared are based on the values I was brought up with.”

We approached the BBC for comment.
A source said he would not have been chosen for The Apprentice had they known the views expressed in his video.
