I'm not so well versed in The Koran that I can take sides in this argument. But here's an example.

With Onan, God orders him to impregnate his dead brother's wife, as part of Jewish law. Onan doesn't dig this, so he busts all over the floor instead, and gets struck down by the big man, becuase he doesn't follow His law.
Later, Jesus says this law was bad. That God only allowed stuff like that and divorce because the Jews were sinful people and he had to make them happy.

Or, in Paul's letters, he clearly states that women are inferior to men multiple times. If you don't believe me, just skim through his letters. However, Christians virtually ignore these passages now, or just say that he didn't really mean it, or the Bible should be interperted as a whole, and don't worry about that passage.
