From what I've read it is different from plastic, and doesn't have the same risk of being an endocrine disruptor or carcinogen. I can't find the same amount of reputable studies about silicone posing a health risk. If someone here can point me to good research about this I'd be happy.

I read that the Umayyad Jizya is a fixed tax, not based on income. That means it would've been easy for rich Christians or Jews etc to pay for practicing their religion, but poor people would've had a harder time paying it. So based on what data we have, how much of a financial burden was it? And if someone couldn't pay, what were the consequences and how strictly were they enforced?
