The Yazidis worship a demi god called Taweus Melek who they sometimes refer to as Shaytan (Arabic equivalent of Hebrew Satan). He is the same character whom refused to obey God's command when asked to bow before Adam. In Yazidism he refused to bow before Adam because he wouldn't bow before anyone but God and God commended him for this. In the Abrahamic faiths he refused to bow before Adam due to his pride and was resultantly cast out of heaven. In Yazidism he considered to be good and the archangel unlike in the Abrahamic faiths where he's the instigator of evil and a fallen Angel or Jinn. So they may seem to be devil worshippers to outsiders, but maybe not by their own definition. Even if they are devil worshippers it's no excuse for prejudice or persecution.
