civilization

Thanks for your excellent efforts in enlightening us about Islam. May Allah Almighty reward you all! I have a question: How Does Islam view the Western civilization? The reason for this question is that, as we know, 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 civ ilization brought them outweigh its advantage. What do you think?
