The early history of the Druze religion is very closely tied to Egypt, where the original proclaimers of the "word" did their work, although they were not Egyptian. Then there was a period when the Druze were not, as at present, an ethno-religion. They preached the "call" throughout the Middle East. There used to be Druze communities in many areas, but they were heavily persecuted as heretics. The largest number who survived were in Lebanon and Syria and probably local people were the largest percentage, but given the place of origin and the proselytizing that went on it shouldn't be a surprise if we find yDna from many places in the Muslim world.
