I'm not angry at islamic states invading parts of europe centuries ago though. Much like I'm not angry at the French for Napoleon invading the Germanic states. That was so long ago, in a completley different world. If someone tried to invade your country today though you'd be angry (not to justify Osama Bin Laden's reaction). I think you are reading much too much into the historical aspect. I see ustwo do this all the time, saying something about the Ottoman empire laying siege to Vienna.
The British had a grip on French power for centuries. That wouldn't justify France acting imperialistically toward Britain today.
