They worship Satan:
Umm, not quite

The Yazidi believe in God as creator of the world, which he placed under the care of seven "holy beings" or angels, the "chief" (archangel) of whom is Melek Taus, the "Peacock Angel." In Zoroastrian-like tradition, the Peacock Angel embodied humanity's potential for both good (light) and bad (dark) acts, and due to pride temporarily fell from God's favor, before his remorseful tears extinguished the fires of his hellish prison and he reconciled with God. Newer monotheistic religions wrongly re-cast the Peacock Angel as the unredeemed evil deity Satan, which incited centuries of prejudicial persecution of the Yazidi as so-called "devil worshippers" by followers of these later religions.
Kind of interesting actually.
