In this crusade, as we have seen in the last several, the Muslims do not deem the crusaders a real threat, and they are right to think so.
To drive home the point that the Muslims responded to the crusaders as not a real threat, one can examine the actions of one sultan of Egypt during this crusade. Although this sultan intended to send troops to defend Tunis, he recalled those plans we he learned that the crusaders leader had died of disease and that the crusaders were retreating without really taking any land.
I feel as though the Muslims felt some pity for the crusaders, as the sultan of Tunis offered a trade agreement with the crusaders even though the crusaders did not have the military might to siege Tunis at that point.
Many of the crusaders fell to diseases, and the siege of Tunis was called of due to the high prevalence of disease.
