\Become you apes, repelled!\ (Quran 7:166): The transformation of the Israelites into apes and its biblical and midrashic background
In Quran 7:163–6, God punishes the inhabitants of \"a town by the sea\" who have collected fish from the sea on a Sabbath by transforming them into apes (qirada). Almost none of the attempts to find a precedent for this punishment in pre-Islamic texts have been plausible. This article argues that this scene reflects post-biblical traditions referring to Numbers 11:19–20. This biblical passage deals with the Israelites who consumed quails that had come from the sea; they were doomed to partake of the meat until it came out of their nostrils and became loathsome to them. This was their punishment after having expressed their discontent with the manna, while craving for meat and fish and vegetables. The midrashic sources describe various obnoxious bodily effects which the meat of the quails had on their unrestrained eaters. It will be suggested that the punitive transformation into apes, suffered by the people of the town by the sea who ate fish, represents the Quranic reshaped version of the bodily infliction which the quail eaters suffered as a result of eating the quails that came from the sea. In support of this suggestion, several points common to the biblical quail eaters and the Quranic people of the \"town by the sea\" will be highlighted.

NATURAL HISTORY OF SIN: REMARKS ON THE ORIGINS OF SIN IN JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY, AND ISLAM
The different approaches to the problem of sin frequently attributed to it an ethical connotation which would have assigned its role and place even in the history of religions. These approaches supposed implicitly a closer or looser connection between religion and ethics. The present author's historico-philological investigation, after having compared some basic linguistic and historical data of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, came to the conclusion that the early forms of the sin perceptions had not yet belonged to the sphere of ethics, while those forms which developed in early modern times have not become part of ethics. Evil and sin were originally associated with religion, later on, however, the judgement of sins has been taken over by the secularised law.

Los mecanismos de la radicalización y la historia de vida como recurso para la prevención
Al no tener en cuenta las verdaderas relaciones de poder que gestionan la vida de las personas, acabamos manipulando las emociones, generando caos y violencia, alimentando formas especializadas de racismo cada vez más poderosas y agresivas. Se puede establecer un patrón de exclusión promoviendo la distancia entre las personas, construyendo un sujeto no integrable y una interiorización silenciosa de la inferioridad. Este trabajo descriptivo-exploratorio con enfoque cualitativo toma como punto de partida una historia de vida. Es la voz de una mujer que ha vivido el drama de la radicalización dentro de su propia familia. A través de su relato, explica que, si bien el islam radical sigue siendo un peligro, también lo son el racismo y la islamofobia, alimentando los mecanismos de una espiral de construcción de la imagen del otro como “enemigo”.
