It might be a god idea to make a policy on image use
at this early stage before people upload too many. The
English Wikipedia are currently moving towards
allowing fair use images as long as those have gone
through the process described at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use.
The German Wikipedia don't allow them at all I
believe.
Are there any opinions on which route to take for the
Arabic Wikipedia?

No, not even all pictures in the english wikipedia.
They are busy at the
moment with tagging every image if it can be used
freely. If you see
public domain or GFDL, go for it, otherwise don't
(There was a change in
policy in the last weeks which discouraged so called
"fair use" images).
