They are beautiful and I would not cut them untill I knew what they are. It would be cool to have the one piece translated. Could they be prayer shawls or rugs? I wonder.
I don't think it would be insulting to re- purpose these fabrics. I think they are interesting pieces and just knowing what they are makes them more interesting. I think including the wording in your project makes it more special!
peace
