#4  Actually they are one of the oldest religions predating Zoroastrianism, maybe Judaism, definitely Christian and Muslim likely Buddhism but likely not Hindu.

#3  TW, they aren't. The religion borrows from ancient Mithraism, a little Christianity, some Sufi Islam, and lots of other sources. But one of the holy beings in the religion is identified with Satan by Islam. The problems seem obvious.

#2  I think the Yazidi are actually followers of John the Baptist, Redneck Jim. Although it's quite possible I'm misremembering.
