Especially, those that were raised in an Islamic household.

The Caucasian (a.k.a. Caucasoid) race includes the peoples from: Europe, the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa or white-skinned; of European origin or relating to the region of the Caucasus in SE Europe.
This is a fairly BROAD brush here!!!! Islam is the religion and Islam's adherents are known as Muslims.
At one point in time (during the 16th & 17th centuries) the Ottoman Empire covered "three continents, controlling much of Southeastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, stretching from the Strait of Gibraltar (and in 1553 the Atlantic coast of Morocco beyond Gibraltar) in the west to the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf in the east, from the edge of Austria, Slovakia and parts of Ukraine in the north to Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Yemen in the south (Thanks Wikipedia!)."
That pretty much overlaps the Caucasian peoples/races' territory. There were a WHOLE LOTTA Caucasian Muslims because of that, and there still are today because of that.... so the answer to your question is....
YES.... next question please?

The purpose why the Spanish Inquisition existed was to kill Muslims, Caucasian Muslims, blond hair and blue eyes.
Eventually when Islam was made a legal religion in 1975 after over five hundred years of torture, people came out of of the woodwork to admit there are Muslim.

Yes, many.
In the Balkans( including Albanians and Bosniaks) there were a number of Slavic,Illyrian and other people who converted to Islam ,in Turkey and in the Caucasian Mountains,in Russia and throughout the Near and Middle East.
There are also converts of Western European background and descendents of European slaves living in Muslim countries around the Mediteranean and the Near East.

There is a large Caucasian Muslim population in Bosnia and surrounding areas. Tha tpar tof Europe was under the Ottoman Emoire for centuries, and many became Muslim during that period.
Then there's the whole country of Iran. The Persians, who are the largest group in Iran, are Caucasian and mostly Muslim.

Yes, they exist in the Former Yugoslavia and USSR states. I won't attempt to spell the names of the countries.
The majority of Muslims are Asian, however.

I think it's rare, but it does happen. I have not heard of one being raised in an islamic household, but I have heard of them converting, especially for marriage.
