Yazidis don't differ from normal Kurds, they are just slightly blonder due to inbreeding. Have you seen Egyptian and ethnic Arab Christians from Jordan and southern Iraq? They are very dark and look nothing like Europeans. The Ethnic Arab Christians from Jordan often claim Bedouin descent, well the Arab Christians in Southern Iraq are descendants of the Lakhmids. Oriental Jews mostly Mizrahim are dark and not light depending on the area they hail from. Since there has been Sephardim and even Ashkenazi migration in some Mideast nations. Iraqi Mizrahim can range in skin tone, those from the south tend to be dark as the local Arabs, well those from the North tend to be lighter, plus they have more of an Armenoid look to them.
There is no question that Europeans have left their impact in some areas such as the Greco-Romans, Crusaders, French and British colonization, and yes there were European and Caucasian slaves in the Mideast. In fact they did not whiten the area, they are simply strangers in the area.
In one Mideast family the sister can look swarthy typical MENA and yet her full blood brother can look "White" or pesudo-European, it's not uncommon in Iraq or even in Yemen where non-Arab mercenaries were brought.
