I'm well aware of the dangers and of the sordid history of imposing any kind of "test" as a qualification to vote. At the same time, it is absolutely unacceptable that the votes of these people count as much as the votes of those who actually know things. So here is my proposal: everyone who votes takes a current-affairs quiz. The votes of those who pass it count double. It's the only sane solution.
Parenthetically--don't these people have Google? Are they so lazy, intellectually or physically, that they can't look this stuff up? Of course, factual knowledge isn't really the issue here. For most of these goons, "Arab" and "terrorist" are just more socially acceptable ways of saying the "n" word.
