....the Westerners always brag about their civilization and scientific advancement, with which they view other people with scorn. But to me, the ruins and woes this civilization brought them outweigh its advantage. What do you think?

I think you are absolutely right, Mr. Al-Qaradawi.

Please advise all your co-religionist who feel the same way about Western Civilization as you do to pack up and return the country of their birth so that they will no longer suffer the woes of having to live amongst us Westerners.

The problem with this fatwa is that he confuses the materialistic liberalism which has (hopefully) temporarily engulfed most western nations with "western civilization" itself. Western civilization of say, Victorian England, is a better measure of western culture across the scope of its existence than is the current, admittedly sad social state of many western nations.
