- Western civilization is inferior, asinine, racist
- West made Muslims ignorant so they would buy European products

Palestinian Islamic scholar Yousef Makharzah said in a March 6, 2022 speech that aired on the Hizb-ut-Tahrir-affiliated Al-Waqiyah TV (Lebanon) that Syrian refugees were driven to Europe by "oppressive Europeans" and that the Europeans are the cause of the Muslims' tragedies. 

Makharzah claimed that Europeans practice bestiality to the extent that "they have sex with animals and beasts more than with humans." 

He also said that that Western civilization is inferior, asinine, and racist, and that it causes "a man to oppress his brother and kill him with no justification." 

In addition, Makharzah asserted that when European colonialist came to Muslim countries, they made the Muslims "more ignorant and shallow" so they would purchase the European consumer goods.
