Carrollton Physician Accused of Making Anti-Semitic and Islamophobic Facebook Posts

A North Texas pathologist is under fire for an alleged series of anti-Semitic and Islamophobic Facebook posts.

Dr. Michael Robles, a physician of almost 20 years who primarily works in Carrollton, allegedly made these comments on the Facebook page of Jihad Watch, a blog run by anti-Muslim writer Robert Spencer. A press release by the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations details many of these posts and includes a computer file with screenshots of comments (allegedly made by Robles) such as:

“The hard-hearted and stiff-necked Jews do not believe in the Holy Trinity. They believe in a different god. Their rejection begins from the beginning they will suffer, see Amos. They are antichrist. They follow the evil one.”

“Never trust a Muslim who actively practices and follows the Quran.”

“Islam false god false prophet false Quran false Christ – Islam is the anti-Christ, born from deception and follows Satan. Pure death and lies in Islam.”

Because he believes they released the Coronavirus into the US. This was on Monday. I was flabbergasted, but apparently North Texas is a hotbed of racism and conspiracy theories among medical professionals.

The Facebook pages of some of the medical personnel that my brother worked with are full of racism. I also knew a doctor who was a fellow alum that had his medical license revoked because he was selling steroids along with posting Islamophobic propaganda. The guy runs a weight training center now (if it managed to stay open during the pandemic).

Makes me afraid to even talk to doctors without a thorough vetting process of their current and former patients
