Can a Monk use 'flurry of blows' with a Temple sword?

The Exchange

Flurry of blows:
Flurry of Blows (Ex): Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus from his monk class levels is equal to his monk level. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.

Description
Heavy blades typically used by guardians of religious sites, temple swords have distinctive crescentshaped blades, which appear to be an amalgam of sickle and sword. Many have holes drilled into the blade or the pommel so that charms, bells, or other holy trinkets can be attached to reflect the owner’s devotion or to serve as foci for prayer or meditation. Monks are proficient with the temple sword.

Monk weapon quality:
Monk: A monk weapon can be used by a monk to perform a flurry of blows (see Chapter 3).

Yes

Edit: In P2E you need the monastic weaponry feat.
