Yes and yes again...

As a muslim, i would answer yes to that question, without hesitation.

However, i have to say that i don't believe the question quite fits in with the rest.

I would not call myself a 'moderate muslim' at least not as the term has been defined on this site and in the media generally - and i would have to say i would fail the test miserably. (Though i do have issue with some of the questions).

I would however call my self a moderate person who happens to be a muslim (though God knows me better than myself) and i'd like to believe i would do better if you tested me on that. ( Which you kind of did with the question you just asked).

You may argue that you can't follow Islam fully and be a moderate person - i would argue the opposite (Which i will have to do at a later date as duty calls).
