Caner Taslaman appears regularly on Turkish TV shows in which he preaches a Koran-oriented Islam. He is convinced that many hadith in popular belief are only ascribed to the Prophet. He belongs to the movement of Koran-oriented Muslims ( Mehmet Okuyan , Emre Dorman , Abdülaziz Bayındır ), who establish the compatibility of modern science with Islam. Taslaman understands an "enlightened Islam" only as the enlightenment of the people and the revival of the one Islam, as in the time of the Prophet Mohammed, and not as a discussion of the contents of faith.
