A work titled against Muslims and Jews actually targets philosophers and Jews
Evidence
Despite the full title often attributed to Martí’s work (Pugio fidei adversus Mauros et Judaeos) there is very little anti-Islamic argumentation here. The work falls into three parts, the first of which is directed against philosophical objections to revealed monotheistic religion; it seems directed against intellectual opponents in Paris (the so-called Latin Averroists), not against Jews or Muslims. Part 2 attempts to show that the Messiah has come, and part 3 attempts to prove the Trinity; these arguments are directed against Jews. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1918
