Thanks. If anything that backs up my main point that most programming languages are multi-paradigm.

  Yes, but it doesn't bolster your argument as much as you think. The state monad in Haskell offers a more principled (some say annoying) way of dealing with mutation. IORef's if I recall correctly offer the type of mutation similar to what is colloquially thought of as mutation. These add to your argument a bit, but they're usually seen more of a last resort

  Sort of. My very opinionated point of view would be that Haskell demonstrates that the functional paradigm is the correct setting for the imperative style.
