Being equally impoverished is not a good thing, in and of itself. Gini is a nice way to compare similar nations, but EG is not similar to anything other than Zimbabwe or the like.
But the interesting thing is that most Muslim Third World countries have very low Gini indices (Afghanistan has one of the lowest in the world), while most Christian Third World countries have among the highest, in both Latin America and central and southern Africa.
This is proof of a Second Cold War, with the Islamic bloc picking up the banner dropped by the Communist bloc when the First Cold War ended 30 years ago.
