Alsalam Brother,
Jazzak Allah mithlah brother, u know Yesterday I asked another scholar about this issue, he said Yes many Scholars say that he is the same but he said that it was not, I still have that book about that scholar woman who made the reasearch I will read it and c what I find in it, and by will of Allah the truth will come out. If I was mistaken may Allah forgive me, and if I am right may Allah accept from me. The moment i get the book I will let u know.
And by the way Dan, Islam began since our father Adam, till our time, all the prophets since then till know called for Islam, it is the people who changed and fabricated relegions that Allah Almighty never called for. For Example u have prophet Yusif, he was in egypt, at the pharos time, the king was kaffir later he became muslim when prophet yusif was out of jail, did u read his story in the holy Quran, but then the jews changed the story, or whoever did I don't know. And u know that I heard one scholar say that buddah was really a prophet, then people made a statue to remember him, then people turned into worshipping the statue, that is why statues are now haram in Islam because people always turned from worshiping God into worshiping statues of prophets or virtous people, just like at the time of prophet Noah

So Islam is from the very begining of life, and even before Adam, there were the jinn before us, and God created them before us to worship him but they were infedil, then he sent satan with an army to fight them, and so on, whatever:D , I will never finish, I blabered a lot. But last but not least, Islam is there it proves itself, and it does not need famous people to prove it is true.So I will c the matter of Alexander, and if I am mistaken, accept my apology in advance:) .
Wasalam 'alaykom wa rahamt Allah wa Barakatuh.
