I agree with the bulk of your post, but I have a problem with this statement:

"which as such can by no means acquiesce in equality before law for a Moslem and a kafir."

Actually Lebanon follows confessionalism form of government. So the President has to be a Marionite Christian. Prime Minister a Sunni Muslim. Speaker of Parliament a Shia. Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Speaker of Parliament Greek Orthodox. Furthermore, the seats in parliment have be divided equally between Christians and Muslims.
