Some computer scientists (e.g. Martin Odersky, creator of Scala) don't see object oriented programming as a true paradigm, for it can be quite easily combined with them (hence Scala and its oop + functional programming approach).

I think this sounds reasonable, especially considering the pseudo-oop of todays languages.

Yeah, but OOP is not just a class of languages, it is a whole different way of thinking about problems and their solutions.
