First get some of your facts right. Lebanon is not a Muslim country. It is sectarian in that all religious denomination have specific representation in parliament according to the constitution, which also enforces the president as being a Maronite Christian - the Maronites are an Eastern Catholic sect and part of the Roman Catholic Church. Now as for the right of protest, Kuwait allows non violent protest just as the USA does, but also with the same requirement of permission by the local police authority. Saudi Arabia has begun to allow limited rights of protest.

Let's clear up something here---Lebanon isn't a "Muslim" country, such as are Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It has no state religion; it's a secular government, and large numbers of Lebanese are Greek Orthodox Christians and Maronite Catholics.
In the case of Lebanon, they certainly are allowed to protest national policies. I don't know as to the others: they're extremely wealthy nations, so maybe no one has anything to protest :)

Lebanon - yes, there have been all kinds of peaceful protests in recent years
Kuwait - somewhere in between, mostly no

Close to not at all. If it gets any momentum, expect some serious goverment interference. Ah, the irony. The more protesters in a country, the better the place...

Only until they are caught, then they will face a firing squad, and probably their wife, children, relatives will also be killed.
