The issue is that whether he is Alexander or not.

In fact, your entire allegation is constructed on the supposition that Dhul-Qarnayn IS Alexander the Great. But since this cannot be proven, the entire allegation collapses.

If he isn't Alexander then who is he?

He's Dhul-Qarnayn. It has absolutely no relevance as to what he was known as by other nations.

I stated that the muslims trying to refute that Dhul Karnain is Alexander is a disingenious attempt at damage control.

And I already debunked this nonsensical claim in my posts which you ignored.

Such as? You were unable to refute EVEN A SINGLE POINT from the following article:

Relevant historical evidence has been examined in the above link.
You displayed a coin showing Alexander with horns coming out of his head. I could show you a similar picture of a devil, a cow, a goat or a child on halloween. I guess they all must be Dhul-Qarnayn too.
