Islam did not introduce polygamy. Unrestricted polygamy was practiced in most human societies throughout the world in every age. Islam regulated polygamy by limiting the number of wives and establishing responsibility in its practice.
Monogamy of the West inherited from Greece and Rome where men were restricted by law to one wife but were free to have as many mistresses among the majority slave population as they wished. In the West today, most married men have extramarital relations with mistresses, girlfriends and prostitutes. Consequently the Western claim to monogamy is false.

Infact the Quran says that you have to be fair to all your wives and if you can't you should just only have one. The West has turned polagamy into a nasty, uncivilizied thing.

Where do you get this idea that in the West most married men have affairs. Have you spoken to every married man in the West! You shouldn't make such wild accusations!
