As usual I am impressed by your write-up on the topic. Your quotation of Quran:

"O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall LENGTHEN their garments. Thus, they will be recognized and avoid being insulted. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful." 33:59 
raises a very important questions which you did not perhaps consider important to comment.  
It says "Thus, they will be recognized and avoid being insulted".

This quotation raises a plethora of questions which none could clarify so far according to my knowledge and to my satisfaction.

Firstly; how the muslim woman can be recognized? By a special dress they wore or some other sign?

Secondly; the question arises as to who were the insulters.  Apparently they were Muslims as they insulted only the non-muslim women.

Thirdly; why Allah is selective being concerned only with protecting the honour of muslim women only?

Fourthly; why Allah says nothing about checking those insulters and appears to give a freehand to them to insult the women who are not 'recognized' as muslims?

And fifthly; Is recognition as muslim depends on the dress only and if so what about the people who have been declared non-muslims, but who dress like muslims? I mean Ahmadies who are more strict about wearing veil than non-ahmadies.  Will they also be spared from insulting, etc.?

There is no end to these questions but I would first like to read your comments on the questions raised by me heretofore.[/quote]
