Where is the proof that Serbs ever had practiced Slavic paganism ? Also Slavs use to worship a great number of Sarmatian gods Voden , Morava , Simargl , Dajbog , Svantovit , Jarovit , Hors ,...
There is highest diversity of R1a in Bosnia it doesnt imply all Slavs are from Bosnia , high diversity may imply that there was a lot of diferent nations in that aeria and multiple colonizing waves .
Maybe your theory is true but like S.Holmes say simplest is usualy true
How do you explain this :
1)Other higher than average densities occur in the
Caucasus:
Darginians of Dagestan 58% and Abkhazians 33%
[7]
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I_(Y-DNA)
2)
North of Caucasus -Sarmatia untill II century AD there is strong I2a2 in some aerias of North Ossetia:: Digora 13% , Ardon 32% , Zil ga 0%, Zamankul 0% , Alagir 0% ,; there is also strong K2 Digora 0% , Ardon 7% , Zil ga 13% , Zamankul 21,7% , Alagir 8,3%( from Turks) . Strongest is the G 21-74% but that is the case in whole Caucasus ( race of goatbriders , populate all high mountins ) , G is probably Meotian and Colhidian.
Archeology shows that only in VI century there is proof of Slavic architecture on west Balkans ( one of it is village near Višegrad on Drina) , in later centuries there is no proof of Slavs on west Balkans- so called Archeological blank . If you look archeological sites of confirmed Slavs , like Kiev or village next to Višegrad , or Balaton in Hungary ,in Walachia in Romania ... you will se that they houses are partialy under ground made of wood and mud- so called zemunica , they villages are always on big rivers banks , they burn they deads and burry they ashes with no artefacts , thay use big curved one head axes and small trowing spears ,... Serbs and Croats findings are totaly diferent : they houses are made of stone and cowered with stone plates or bark of trees surounded with many smaller objects like stables , some of this objects are on slades - so they could be moved , they villages are always on mountains few miles from nearest river ( small or big ) ,Croats burry they deads without burning with a lot of artefacts , in round pits , in fetus position - like Yaziges in Banat during Avaric Khaganate , Serbs burn they deads , and puting ashes in specially builded litlle houses made of dried grass and woods , with lot of artefacts and food - similar to Ants burial customs in Moldavia ( it is believed Stećci -memorial stones in shape of house from Herzegovina mimic those burial houses), Serbs and Croats use twoheaded axes - like Sarmatians and long fighting spears .

These abowe show that I is comon in Caucasus, and
I2a2 is present only in Southwestern Russia - Sarmatian aerias , ancient Russian sites Vladymir , Ryazan ,... showed even biger percent of R1a up to 80%
all of Russia has 10% I2a2 wher did you get 20% :
...
This
Russian site say that I among Dasgins is actualy I2a2
....
Hier
Serbs , Slovenians and Bulgars are
clustered with Lesgins from Dagestan in MDS and rest of Balkanic are not it is small sample but it tell a story :
http://dodecad.blogspot.com/2010/11/multidimensional-scaling-in-italy.html
Dargins have highest I -58% in whole world after Herzegovina.
Ther is I2a in Armenia to:
The common ancestor of the seven Armenian I2*'s lived approximately 4,500 years ago.
Here's the most recent post on this subject by
Ken Nordtvedt: "
The I2* cluster is an enigma because overall I2* is probably the strangest haplogroup in Hg I. I2* is generally spread across every quarter of Europe except noticeably light in Scandinavia. I2* has a strong and much older Armenian/Turkish presence and shows up elsewhere in the MidEast/Levant. Because of the bias of our good databases, however, an objective statement of its relative strength across this vast span of territory can not yet be made. But no other subhaplogroup of I is so lacking in geographical concentration. And I2* is old in the time back to its TMRCA --- only being challenged as oldest Hg I clade by I2a1 M26+ Sardinian." With regards to the
I2a branch, I am more and more enclined to believe it represents
one of the major genetic components of the Indo-European speaking "Armen" people, themselves
part of the Phrygian people, who came into Anatolia from the West around 1,300 B.C. As per Dr. Roy King: "
... Assyrians and Armenians are practically identical [genetically] except for language which must be reflected in the I2 and perhaps E1b1b1a-V13 frequencies for the Indo-European superstratum. This is interesting in that it suggests that the Indo-European Armenian speakers came from the Balkans rather than via the Caucasus."

All of I2a2 amongs slavic populations can be explained by
Sarmatian settlement , Serboi and Heruatai were Sarmatian tribes , and where they goes I2a2 follow .
let me try to shed light for slightly different viewpoint...
R1a are field people...that is why they dig houses in mud....
I2 are warriors...they take on strategic places from early days... they build houses on strategic places - on hills, so they cannot dig in mud - they have to use stones...
look at I2 project map
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/I2nosubcladeM170P215/default.aspx?section=ymap
clear strategic lines from Baltic to Black sea and from Denmark to Italy and Asia minor....
they take trade roots by force and live from trading and war...
Assyrians and Armenians are same because Armenia comes from Sarmenia - Serian people same as Assyrian is Serian.... when talking about Cappadokia Strabo says that both tribes are white Syrians and that they origin from same people that have built royal Palaces in Babylon and Nin
It seems that the name of the Syrians extended not only from Babylonia to the Gulf of Issus, but also in ancient times from this gulf to the Euxine. At any rate, both tribes of the Cappadocians, both those near the Taurus and those near the Pontus, have to the present time been called "White Syrians,"3 as though some Syrians were black, these being the Syrians who live outside the Taurus; and when I say "Taurus," I am extending the name as far as the Amanus. When those who have written histories of the Syrian empire say that the Medes were overthrown by the Persians and the Syrians by the Medes, they mean by the Syrians no other people than those who built the royal palaces in Babylon and Ninus; and, of these Syrians, Ninus was the man who founded Ninus in Aturia, and his wife, Semiramis, was the woman who succeeded her husband and founded Babylon. These two gained the mastery of Asia; and as for Semiramis, apart from her works at Babylon, many others are also to be seen throughout almost the whole of that continent, I mean the mounds called the Mounds of Semiramis, and walls, and the construction of fortifications with aqueducts therein, and of reservoirs for drinking-water, and of ladder-like ascents of mountains, and of channels in rivers and lakes, and of roads and bridges. And they left to their successors their empire until the time of the empires of Sardanapalus and Arbaces. But later the empire passed over to the Medes.

name Armenian comes from Syrian = Assyrian = Serian
according to Karlovac rodoslov all Serbs did in ancient times worship Dagon
Dagon is waterman
in Slavic version this god is called Dajbog and also Voden (voda = water => this is waterman - same as Assyrian Dagon and also god of Dogon tribe in Africa)
I2a-Din peaks in Dagestan, logically Dagestan is name derived from Dagon...
I2a-Din is in Russia concentrated in south parts...
this is because I2a-Din has spread along Danube and along Black sea and from there it has entered Asia Minor - Phrygia...
Phrygians together with Assyrians are "sea people"...their name comes from worship of waterman or Dagon...
Serians live among Sarmatians in Asian Sarmatia...(Seneca)
those Serians are Serboi who now are Dagestan inhaitants....
Serians in Europe rule over scattered Scythians... (Seneca)
Scythians are R1a people of unknown language....(ancient DNA)
So, perhaps, as Ken Nordvedt suggests I2a played role in transfer of PIE - Scythians in Europe receive PIE from Serians.. that would be origin of Slavs
state of Zeruiani was so big that all Slavs come from it (Bavarian geographer)
it is possible that Slavic language comes from Serbs
hence the saying in Serbs "speak Serbia so that the whole world understands you"
Croats would be Carpi and originally this tribal name is same as of Serbs...
Carpi are Dacians and worship Dagon as well (according to Karlovac rodoslov Dacia comes from word Dagon)...with expansion of Sarmatians they become Sarmatians...
I2a-Din along Danube (strategic route again) is Sherdana.... I2a1 Sardinians also come from there (ancient DNA shows that Sardinians are closest match to bronze age warriors from Bulgaria area)
Sherdana spread along Danube and Black sea into Asia minor...in Phrygia they found town Sardes... in Egypt a lake is called Serbonis after them....
Assyrian history records state that Hittite were brought down by Phrygians...
in battle of Kadesh Sherdana fight on side of Egypt against Hittite because Hittite are their natural enemy in Asia minor.... Egyptian sources say that sea people took over what is now called Syria after Hittite fall... Assyrian records that Assyrians took over what is now called Syria after Hittite fall....
Assyrians are also called Syrians - they are Serians
Sherdana are also Serians...
Sarmatians are according to legend product of Scythians mating with Amazones....
Serboi tribe in Caucasus neighbours Amazones....
however Serians live among Sarmatians....
Serboi in Sarmatia are Serians who live among Sarmatians....
Serbs have similar/same burial practices as Ants, Croats as Laziges... because Croats are proper Sarmatians, while Serbs and Ants are not... Ants origin from Veneti who were pushed out from coasts of Asia minor in times after sea people....those were among sea peoples....
Veneti is also origin of tribal name Wend used for both Serbs and Croats (De administrando imperio states that both are called white, which is misinterpretation of Wend using Celtic language) ...
in ancient Balkan Illyrians and Scordisci are I2 people - they take strategic places - sea and Danube
Pannonians are proto-Slavs - they take fields...
two societies cooperate - Pannonians are probabbly farmers, Scordisci and Illyrians are perhaps warriors, traders and cattle herders
with expand of Roman empire those who live in areas hard to defend - Pannonians in fields and Scordisci along Danube and its tributarieas take a root towards north... Illyrians already live in hilly region so they feel safe to stay there.... movement of Danubian Slavs from area of Scordisci and Panonia is explained by Russian primary chronicle....it mentions there Serbs and Croats explicitly..... they arrive to Vltava and call themselves Lyakhs there...Lyaks is same name as Lehs...Croats are Carpi... they take Black sea route...Serbs endup north of northwest Carpathians, Croats north of east Carpathians....with arrival of Huns, Croats move along Carpatians towards west... they become neighbours of Serbs...when Bavaria-Bohemia is sparsely settled they bpoth move to the west....Serbs settle Bavaria/Bohemia and Croats just east of them - the rest of Czech republic, Slovakia and south Poland - this can be traced with checkboard coat of arms still present in this regions... than they make a deal with Roman empire to ressetle Balkan and protect it from Avars....so they come to current places...Croats assimilate I2a-Din Illyrians....Serbs assimilate haplogroup E Tribali and Dardanians...Dardanians who moved to mountains during Got, Hun, Avar incursion in Balkan keep their language that becomes ALbanian...
in medieval period they spread into hellenized Albania....
Kurds origin from Assyrians/Syrians....Sorani - biggest Kurd tribe carries name that derives from that source...among Sorani are also Germiani...name Kurd is from same source as Sard - from Sherdana... there is inversion of name - originally Serians was central name, and Sherdana tribe name, in the end name Kurd is large name and name Serian is tribe name.... Sherdana in Asia left genetic impact of R1a south-eastern branch
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=e...1.287842&spn=10.201969,28.059082&source=embed
and some I2 (white Syrians)
from their conquest also people like Seres come to existance (green dots are branch that separates early in history from purple dots)... spread of purple dots along sea is clear - Black sea, Lebanon, Red sea, Persian gulf, west India coasts, Tunisia,,, I2a spreads along Mediteranian coasts mostly... Sardinia is settled from Bulgaria and Asia minor coasts.... I2a-Din comes to existance among Scordisci and Illyrians/Veneti/Anti in Danube and Black sea area....
