Hey Guys ,

I am in the opposite boat from you.
I bought the arabic phone and Flashed it to UK version 2.2.1.
The device is essentially the same hardware. The difference is in the software.
Now for your question will it brick your phone? yes it is very possible, what are the chances very very small.
I will not say it is risk free, what I will say is do it at your own risk.
If you read the forum you will see 2 or 3 posts about people bricking their phone. Now this is from the people who actually brick their phone.
Then count the number of people who claim success in Flashing there are countless. Now consider how many people share their stories on this forum.
You will probably come to a 95% success rate in flashing.
If you are worried about hardware don't be unless you bought the device from the States or Canada, you have nothing to worry about.
Hope I helped
Peace.
