In GEDMatch, especially Eurogenes K13, not much.

In general, Lebanese Muslims have more overall European DNA than Christians.

I am an atypical case as I am a Lebanese Christian, but I score higher North_Atlantic than Muslims and Christians. That said, I am still trying to figure out why, whether we once Muslims in the past or that Crusaders settled in to own town.

It is interesting that Muslim Levantines have more Western Euro mix.
