2. I'm afraid the situation is about to "look" like Hutus and Tutsis in

Rwanda... Already "in the works" for years. :cry:

3. probably by neighborhood

mosque, last name - don't know if there are any discenrible differences in attire, physical appearance.

Perhaps there is just enough familial genetic difference to be detected by those in the environment. Westerners would not have a clue.

4. I have asked this question before

and I have beeen told that their given names or last names (I'm not sure which) often give them away to one another, plus possible differences in dress. Maybe someone who knows can elaborate.
