Yazidi wank

What’s the maximum you can get from a Yazidi religion+state wank with a pod of around 1100 ad, is it possible to get a sovereign state in the 21st century, what are some ways that they can thrive- a conquest of Persia instead of the Safavids, or is a small Caucasian state the maximum that can be hoped for
 
The more powerful a Yazidi ruler gets at the time, the greater the incentive they have to convert to Islam. To expand Yazidis would probably have to slowly rise within another state--such as a pagan Ilkhanate that causes religious fragmentation in the Middle East. After each conquest they spread out a little more like the expansion of Vlachs or Romanians, or indeed like Kurds and Armenians. Closer to the modern day, the OTL Kurdish emirates on the frontier between the Ottomans and Persians in the early 19th century, one or more of them could be Yazidi instead of Muslim.
