Moderate Muslim

I can't believe there are Snet members considering themselfs "Moderate Muslim" 
I just like to share a interesting quote from a British Muslim.
"Muslims who choose to be more western than Westerners make me laugh – do they realize how silly they look to the rest of the world? They hide behind such descriptions as moderate – again what sort of message does that send to our young people?
If we ask them to be moderate does that not suggest that there is something wrong with Islam that it needs to be toned down, diluted?
What is a moderate and what is an extremist? I really donÂ’t know. I am a simple Muslim. I follow no scholars or sects Â… I merely follow The Prophet (pbuh) and the Sunnah.
Does that make me an extremist? I don't think Tony Blair knows himself - I wrote to him three months ago and am still waiting for a reply.
Being a Muslim is a bit like being pregnant. You are or you are not. Whoever heard of anyone being moderately pregnant?" // Yvonne Ridley
