Well, you're comparing the demonstrating muslims to scorpions. The opposing side's point is that acting like scorpions (or animals in general) is not/should not be acceptable in a human society.
Like Archuka said, it was insulting and a negative response is expected (from others than muslims as well), but this reaction is going way too far. The islamic fanatics have drawn the spotlights from the cartoonists and upon themselves.
