Is it true that the founder of mondernday Egypt was an old Ottoman soldier named muhammed Ali pasha or Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Paşa (not the boxer yeah it seems funny) He was the one who modernized Egypt & slaughterd all the mamelukes( damn shame)
 
the big question is was he a Turk or an Albanian.

I dont see why that's the "big question." I think the bottom line over the years is that we do not have any conclusive information about his origins, and his ethnic origin was nothing something very important to his rule.

By in other regards, yes, he was the founder of Modern Egypt and is regarded as a great figure in Egyptian history.
